Do you have to paint the whole ship?

No. It actually looks like the photo. It should sell for a lot more. I'm very happy with it.

You don't paint it at all. It already has color. All you have to do is glue the pieces together. Carefully, though.

Never tried to paint it, however, I read some helpful info on West System's site about painting it. I have mixed dye in it with no problems.

You do not have to paint it. If you want to add some small details, it is up to you. But entirely, it is not needed.

Yes, it comes fully painted and assembled. Just needs to charge the battery (for the tank) and put batteries in the remote.

Hi Nicole, That depends on how skilled and steady handed the person is. What I mean is small pieces need to be painted before gluing them onto the model and also using sharp knives to cut the pieces from the parts trees. The model can be built in haste without painting but to get the full look of the model could take several weeks. I personally spent maybe 3 weeks working on mine making the pieces fit well and painting every single piece that needed paint to get the overall look I was going for. I even had to do research for painting it with the colors that the ship was painted on Dec 7, 1941. Really what it comes down to is how patient and steady handed the person really is. I hope this brings some insight. Thank you! --Eric S.

For me, it was enough to add it to the paint! No finishing coat necessary. But that doesn't mean you can't. It was delightful according to my taste!

Yes, the entire kit must be assembled and painted to create the model pictured. Some decals are also included.

Arthur Macon is correct. However, paint the center gunmetal or whatever color you choose prior to emplacing decal. I just took photos to post but not sure I can here. Its tedious which is why I have a ship with no shields sitting on my Iraq artifacts. I did not use Micro_Sol, but I will certainly purchase it to test its capabilities. I just used very tiny bareli visible droplets of crazy glue. But I had to cut each shield a hole with a razor. I have a few that look great but no I did not complete it and its been sitting there almost a year I think. lol. Good luck homes.

We used a stain on ours so you could certainly paint one. We used the stain before assembling it so it was easy.

Mostly. You have to add decals and a few small aesthetic parts like hand tools and machine gun. The color looks good. Some people add more paint to give the tank more realism.

You should not need to paint any gundam models (especially MG ones) unless they are really old. This kit has great colors right out of the box so unless you just don't like the shade of color the answer is no. The only pieces some people choose to paint are the "gold" parts that come in more of a dull bronze unless you buy the upgraded version of this kit with more stuff.

Yes, you have to do some paint mixing, it is very easy , the instruction inside give you the way step by step to do it

At least glue. I did not realize that the model needed this and did not give the model as a gift because the child was too young to work at this level. The model does not say what types of paints are needed. So I would have to say yes. You will need to buy the glue and some paints.

no you don't have to paint it, you can to give it your desired color, the most you can do is line in the small channels with grey or black lining marker

In the Instructions Page 2 I beleive. There is a list of the paints needed to do this model up right. The paints are marked in the instruction A-Z and after each letter is the proper paint color needed. To build this kit. Check your instruction sheet. There is also a list of the parts and their nominclature. This is also in the front two sheets of the instructions. Take your time and study the instructions carfully.

No. But the rustolium paint and primer spray cans would do a pretty good job. I painted a 21 foot aluminum boat with it and it looks great.

Yes, but you would have to paint all of the corners and backs anyway so it would be easier to just paint the back black. It isn't great and the textures on the back will definitely clash with the black finish on the front. Basically, everything you see in the picture is black but from behind it, you wouldn't even know it's black.
