Just out of the clamps. Painting with contrasting colors looks really good but, is tricky to pull off. You have to paint the parts separately masking off the spots where the glue will go.
Fitting all the parts together after they are painted is quite tedious. There is a risk of damaging the finish with tools or glues. Being wood, fitment is not precise some parts need to be carefully modified to fit without damaging the paint.
If you look closely at the photo above, you can see one tiny spot just above the fender where the paint was scratched off during assembly.
I learned the hard way that you must clean the jaws of your clamps before clamping painted parts together and be very careful not to touch the toy car with any of the metal parts of the clamps.
Small Quick clamps work well for this sort of clamping, The jaws are easy to clean and padded well. I've not had these stick to anything yet.
