How Long To Wait Before Clear Coat?

Hello, back again with another question on my first model (you have all been very helpful at the start of my journey with this GTR by the way. Thank you)

I'm using all Tamiya sprays for this model. Yesterday around 4pm I started spraying my primed car with TS-20. Did a light dusting on the first coat and did about 3 coats total waiting 20 minutes between.

I originally was thinking about giving the model a week for the TS-20 to cure before using Tamiya gloss clear (don't remember off the top of it's a TS clear or the X)

Should I still wait a week before the clear?

Should I have put the clear on after my last coat instead?

How/when do I know if paint has been fully cured? I want to avoid the spider webbing crackly stuff.

Thank you again!

It's A Start

My first model!

I was most nervous about painting and it SEEMS to be fine. Obviously I'm setting expectations for myself.

Going to let it sit a week and then tape it off to add the black to the windows. Then on to the next thing I fear, priming and painting all the tiny parts before assembly.

Can I Use Enamel Spray over Acrylic Primer?

Im very new and am ready to prime my first model.

I have Citadel Grey Seer I got a while ago as a gift with some other Warhammer stuff.

Im building the Tamiya GTR R32 set and plan on spraying Tamiya TS20.
