I have two Stormravens on the way to me from ebay.

I have a question on painting and assembly. I plan on magnetizing everything on the two of them.

Is it better to paint the entire parts up disassembled or assemble the entire model then paint it up?

I have access to an air brush and it seems to be that painting it while it's still in pieces would be a lot easier, but then I will need to scrap the edges to allow glue welding.

I found the easiest thing to do was to assemble it in two halves; the top (I.e. Wings, turret, cockpit, engine etc) and the bottom half (everything else - tail, landing gear, troop compartment etc) in the other assembly and paint it up that way
