olddude55 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Greetings all. Building my first kit in 30 years, Monogram's 1955 Chevy ragtop (not the original kit but the current version issued as Revell-Monogram). I've got a lot of car modeling experience but this is the first time for photo etched details. Is is best to put them on before paint, or after? Does it even matter? Personal preference? Pros & cons? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 They're designed to be added after paint. They are thin enough that most paint jobs would bury them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been lurking around here for years, never posted anything before. Wasn't motivated enough to work on any of the kits on the shelf. Back in the 1990s, built many kits. Factory stock preferred. Thanks for the welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Welcome! It is not uncommon to be a wallflower at the party to start with, but glad to see you stepping into the the crowd and mingling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
