Your sequence of paint, clear, decals, clear, wet sand is sound... when knocking down the step between colours be sure to run with the line, otherwise some colour transfer from the red onto the white may cause problems. Enjoying the build progress so far.

Even Tamiya has separation mold lines you might want to sand down..up along the top of the front fenders, the a pillar, and down along the rear fenders....just sayin'

Nice cover up on the glue line, but what can you do to the windshield glue...?
