I'm new here,looking for advice. I'm purchasing a F4U Corsair Tamiya 1/32. I'd like your opinions.Should I paint all the parts,before I start putting it together,or paint them as I go?

I think most people play each situation by ear. I leave very hard to paint things off and paint them separately. I have a pretty steady hand for detail painting and i do armor, which traditionally is less polished than aircraft. On my p-38 i painted a lot of the small parts separate.

You have a lot of lessons to learn. Watch a build log on youtube, or read a thread of one on here. Broad stroke methods are easy to pick up.
