I have the same kit in my closet waiting to be built. You’re doing well for a first timer. Try thinning the paint so it will flow better with a brush.

[@mightyjjk1298]

First of your builds I’m watching. You’re doing a good job. That said; If you’re going to continue with the hobby seriously, If y haven’t already I highly recommend investing in an airbrush. So much more versatile. Yes you have to mask but results are superior.

You're doing a good job. I've been doing this for about a month. I understand your frustration. And it seems you need more fine tip brushes than anything. I just finished the same kit the other night. I am starting to prime and paint most of the pieces and then do fine painting later. Keep at it. I learn more with each kit.
