Roger TrewenackTime: about 8 hours for that as it's a two-sheet model
Painting: That's what I'm avoiding........ and I think it would be too hard to get yellow on everything once completed. As for painting then assembling, I guess that would be possible, but handling it during assembly would then be a problem. I'm not yet proficient with an airbrush to try either approach. I'd be worried about losing detail too.
