We are on a similar path I have several hundred kits in the pile I want to thin that down to some kind of realistic goal in mind Keeping most of the drag car kits and some late 50s annuals or stock releases I want to build that aren't avail today The rest is going away and Im looking for shows to set up a table at and try to move some of this -
Best to wait a few days before masking for two tones on any paint with any tape. Been there and done that. Will not do it again. I've done a couple two tone paint jobs recently Used Tamiya tapes on both with no issues Waiting about 3 days between colors to tape them up

nice . thanks for the pics -
Agreed 100% When ever I take a kit out of the box , ANY kit , old or new - newer I lay everything out on the counter and make sure its flat Then really look the body and related components to make sure there's not warpage I'll do a very basic dry assembly of major components , Body , hood , glass , chassis etc etc Nothing worse than finding out AFTER its all painted the car doesn't sit flat and square to the surface

Looks killer I built this same kit about 15 years ago I think
