Having applied the fit-trim-fit-trim-sand method for the ear pieces for a couple of hours (or more, time flew by so fast), I eventually pierced holes and fixed them in with the screws provided in the AP kit. This was just to try out the fitting and it turned out looking great! The gaps were closing nicely so I didn't need to take them apart for adjustments.
Decals and paint were applied following this technique making sure that no air bubbles were trapped and no smudging appeared around the frown "mouth" thingy. The black brow trim isn't glued so I just lifted that up to stick the trapezoid decal underneath.
Tip: Humbrol paint takes a long time to dry and acetone will not be of any help. Use White Spirit solvent to clean your brushes. If you can get acrylic paint instead, use that. Acrylic paint is far more indulgent and mistake-friendly, if you make a smudge you can just wait for it to dry and scratch it off. It's decal-paint.
WRONG!!! The teeth have to be painted gray separately. No joint line between them! lol I've been reading too much.
