I have found that the easiest way for me is to complete in sections not to follow the instructions in the order they are set down.
On the Merlin for instance I cut all the pieces form the sprue for the whole cockpit. On the instructions they jogged between the cockpit and the hold. This enables many items to be airbrushed in one session with the same colour.
So I end up with all the interior parts cut form the sprue. Box with cockpit box with hold and a box for the tail door.
I also go through the instructions,using coloured highlighters, highlight each colour through out the instructions. So I can delve into the above boxes to have a session for each colour.
Also after cutting a piece from the sprue I tick it saves a lot of hassle.
Boxes. Pound shop the sealing plastic type. For £3 you end up with 12 boxes of different sizes.
That is my look on things. But then I have to have things organised to enjoy building. Saves a lot of moving items 10 times to find the item you want.
