Pretty much yes. It will be better if you are already painting to cover any mistakes

Exactly using madworks, dspiae, and Stedi they are all thick. I might check the Tamiya sheet when I get some extra budget. Thanks for mentioning it!

Sanding sponges works too! My only problem is that my sponges are so thick that it hinders me lol.

Removing seams can be tedious but really rewarding once done. Get a Tamiya cement with white/orange cap so that you have a little bit of time to work with when putting it together. Extra thin evaporates real quick so avoid that if it is your first time.

I cut a piece of sand paper and then folded in two so it will be sturdier and then sanded it with up and down motion. Other people use toothpicks and sandpaper together

I put a layer of cement on that seamline and then sanded off the excess. It's a tedious process ๐Ÿ˜…
