Default Painting an Airworld hawker Hunter

I expect this query has been asked many times, but I dont know where to find the comments on RCU.
Can someone please give me advice as to painting my Aiworld Hawker Hunter, and how to avoid losing all the details that
have been molded into the fiberglass.
I would like to put on the primer/undercoat, the finish coats I will have done professionally, (that painting is way
beyond my skill level).

Thanks
Ross

"What one man can do, another can do." A line from the movie "The Edge."

There's a whole bunch of truth to this? And you would be surprised what you could do if you tried.

Anyway, if you are using an automotive painter, I would certainly stress that "build up, isn't necessary."

If you're using a model guy that has experience detailing and painting models, he should be way ahead of you.

Please Post photos of this kit.
