Tank interior advice?

[Astartes Consul]

I've got a couple of tanks on the wok bench at the moment, a Rhino and Phobos/Mk IIb Land Raider. Want to paint the troop compartment of both, and while the Rhino will be straightforward, I'm looking for advice on the Land Raider.

 

Being a FW kit with big chunks of resin on the sides and, more importantly, in the middle of the hull, has anyone got any advice on how to manage painting the interior with the need to make sure all the resin lines up and fits well?

I learned the hard way. Make sure your pieces have all been scrubbed in soapy water, if they appear shiny when dry, they have mold release on them and paint wont stick. Then test-fit and trim and straighten all pieces before adding a single drop of paint. Once the kit actually fits together, paint the interior in pieces then assemble.  Make sure there are no gaps on the outside that will let primer onto the inside, you don't want to ruin your hard work :tu:
