As soon as you get it out of the box, put some blue tack over the protruding sensors either side of the nose below the front windshield, as this will stop them being broken off during the ton of handling it will be put through.
Have fun with this, it is a fantastic kit.
The "Turkey Feathers" actuators on the exhaust pipes are tricky, and I made the mistake of painting all the parts that go to make these items, and It was really difficult to keep them from continually falling apart.

There are a series of "Electronics bays" the Black box items, that come as separate items, with switches and cabling moulded in them.
It would be good if you could paint these before they are required for fitting.
In fact, you will see one of the 'bays' in the images I just posted showing the "sensor" and how to protect it.
The instructions are pretty clear as to where and when you should paint. Take your time and spend an hour or so, looking at the instructions and the parts at the same tome to "Familiarise" your self with this kit, as it is demanding and if your not paying attention, it could turn sour on you.:-/

LOL, I seem to have written all over your post mate, but it was necessary as I don't want to hear reports from you, "Something broke off " !!!:-/
