I've posted a lot the last few days and wanted to have something to show everyone. Here is my 1/35 M1046 Humvee w/ TOW built OOB. I started it a while ago and just couldn't stop. At the time I also didn't have anything to paint with so I just built. My question is this: can i still paint the model from this stage? Everything you see is glued, and the cassis is elsewhere, intact, glue - the wheels. Opinions/ideas welcome!
Sorry about the wicked flash/blur of some images!

Sure, as long as the roof is removable as in your 2nd and 3rd photos. Tape off the windows on both sides and paint away. You will have to do a bit of hand painting on the details, but it shouldn't be too hard.

Nice clean build so far and as Gino said should be OK to paint even on the inside.
Make sure you don't glue the end pieces onto the spare TOW rounds until after they are in the rack. There is a groove in the body of the missile that fits over the knobs on one end of the rack, then you can glue the end piece in place. Hope this makes sense....
