Taking notes
When starting a kit that will need to be painted, put a 3 x 5
file card [4, next page] in the box to note the name, number,
and/or manufacturer of the various colors used. A couple
seconds of note-taking will save a lot of time if the project
gets shelved for whatever reason. When I started on a wood
kit that I had not worked on for quite a while, the card was
in the box and I was touching up in a couple of minutes. (The
same trick works with paint colors and detail part numbers
for car and locomotive projects.)
