We have a problem. Body won't fit on!!! To curved on bottom to get around what I have!!!! HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. I let my 6 year old chose the body color. After I told her no pink I am for sure taking it slow. Going just from box. Next build I will add a little touch. For example it will be "easy" to drill out an exhaust with a drill bit. I just wanted to do my first build by itself so I can focus on that one. I do have a quick question. I bought some black acrylic paint and man it's spitting out the airbrush fast and wet. How do I thicken back up the paint? I will take more pics tonight as I plan on adding windshield, radiator, stuff like that.

So this is my very first build. Loving this hobby already. I have made a few mistakes, but learning. Using a testor airbrush and propellant.

Thanks for the tips. I will definitely go through the forums. Here is what I have done so far. Again, my first. Having a blast. Do y'all work on one project at a time? How long does it take you guys for one build if only going out of the box? I plan on doing a lot more straight out of the box builds of different variety before I go to creative. Already learning a ton of stuff on this first build. Love the tip about putting glue on tooth pick first. I will start doing that. I did use latex gloves. So I can use prime straight out of a spray can? That is good. I will start that next build. Let me know what you think about my car so far. Good or bad.

I am working on a 68' Charger. My first model. Having a great time. My setup is: Testor airbrush hooked to airbrush propellant bottle from Hobbylobby. My questions are: For acrylic paints, do you primer? When is the proper time to hand paint or airbrush? Do you paint all your parts first and then follow instructions or paint and build page by page? When or should I switch to compressor and not bottle? Should I switch to enemal? If so, what are the biggest pros? How do I prevent paint running? Am I holding to close or have the dial open to much? What do you do with all your models when done? What do you use to prevent glue getting on you? Tweezers? Thanks. Any other info or tips appreciated.
