I hand paint, i dont have the tools or abilities at this time to airbrush.
I have a Ryefield RM5050 and am closing in on the tank tracks. Curious as per title of pros/cons of painting before and after assembly - lots of parts to this one.
Thank you kindly. FWIW, i did mean assembled as in the lower left photo, not while on tank. im nervous of painting prior to assembling the tracks as the pins and such are tiny.
