This is the first AT gun I am building, so I need some advice... Paint order for an AT gun?

Is it better to fully assemble the gun (ex. wheels) and then spray? or should I spray the different sections as I go along? The reason for me asking is because I am not used to spraying something that is not just a relatively flat surface eg car or AFV...

Advice appreciated...

I don't profess to be an arty expert - nor an airbrushine expert - nor for that matter a modelling expert :-) but in the past I have built the full piece then done the painting. There may be some odd angles you have to hold the piece to get paint into some of the obscure nooks and crannies. If when you have finished you can spy some obscene llittle bit of gray/yellow/green "raw" plastic hiding deep in some recess then a dab of slightly wetter drybrushing and a wash should cover it.

This is what I plan for the 2 25 pounders and 1 88mm flak sitting on my shelf screaming out to be built.
