So clean! I have the same kit. Any tips before I start it? For me the masking will be the challenge.

You are right, masking is the hardest step in this kit. I use 6mm tape to mask f, r bumpers, 18mm tape mask the side and cut out shape of window and side bumpers along the modeled trench. Fenders are boss, i use flexible tape on body to fit its shape.
In fact, this panda also not so successful either. The edge of w and b on fender can be controlled better. Aoshima can produce its origional shaped masking like tamiya and fujimi. Glad to see Aos has done this in recent productions crown and pervia.

Thanks for the tips. I'll keep my fingers crossed while masking and painting this one...
