Painting and decaling
Now is a good time to temporarily assemble all the com-
ponents of your model to make sure no modifications are
required before painting. If you are happy with everything,
disassemble the model and wash the shell, frame, and truck
side frames with a toothbrush and warm soapy water. Rinse
everything well. Once the parts are washed, be sure not to
touch them with your bare hands as the oil from your skin
could interfere with the paint. I often use my airbrush with no
