| Depends. If you have a lot of flash, like on the cut-away 747, then obviously don't paint first. Though on a 48th Tiger, paint the wheels first, put on model them touch up.
As for cleraning brushed, don't use enamel, acrylic is nicer and cleaner. To be honest I can't remember the last time I used enamel as I moved to cellulose and acrylic in the 90's.
Just for a bit of nostalgia, had to visit Borth for a therapy exercise yesterday and in the little newsagent we use, where the good Commando comics are there was a full box of Airfix M12 brick red at the back of the shop! The buff box with the Airfix logo on the side, fond memories of model shops came flooding back. We was almost tempted to buy it but decided not to.
