It generally depends i paint smaller pieces on the sprue to prevent loosing them or causing damage to them. Sidewalls etc i paint on the sprue as they are easier to paint and weather than when the cockpit tub it fully fitted together. Others ill just attach into place and paint at the same time as other things. But as i said it generally depends on what im building and what needs doing
