I am buying this for my bf. I know nothing about this. What all do you have to paint? and what additional tools should I buy him that he will need?

If he is a modeler he will have what he needs. Be a shame to buy tools and supplies he may already have.

You'll need model paint, model glue, a hobby knife or small pliers to cut pieces of the 'parts tree'. The kit comes with decals, hot water works best to get those to work.

I used red, yellow, black, and some orange for the engine..(chevy orange).maybe some silver here and there.. the model was molded in white plastic I believe.A good razor-knife for cutting the parts off the rack, a little 100-grit sandpaper to smooth the parts where needed. Some small brushes for painting and some thinner for cleaning the brushes..a kit is available.Don't forget the model-cement!

It was a gift..so I did not put it together. However I was told that it needed painting. I will ask my grandson tonight and respond again when I am sure.

No you need to get the spray paint and atleast a starter kit that comes with some paint and I think glue

I painted another kit with model paint spray cans. It can be done, but I would recommend looking at quite a bit of tutorials before you try it.

The Paintwork Paint-By-Number Kits include a canvas board (no stretching needed), paintbrush and necessary paints. You will need to do some mixing, but instructions are quite clear. You may want to add a liner brush and a flat brush, but that isn't required. Paper towels and a jar for water will also be needed. I have done 13 or 14 Dimension Paintwork Kits and they are fun to do and the end products are gorgeous! Have fun!

High Sharon, it can be built without the use of paint, but for a more realistic look i would suggest your choice of color spray paints (depending on what you like) and small bottle paint colors (mainly silver) for detail work., it is a nice kit, good luck!

I tried to do a similar project. Next time I said I would use paint designed for the project! Not only is it hard to get even paint, it takes a lot of effort to heat set it. Hope you have better outcome if you decide to do this!

You have to paint it and assemble it yourself. It comes in quite a few pieces.

Yes, I believe all of the Dimensions Paintworks painting require some blending...but that's part of the fun...just purchase some empty pots for mixing colors. Have fun!!

Hi Chris, it is not too complicated to build, but painting could be a different thing. Good luck!

This is a kit it comes unbuilt and unpainted. you assemble and paint or varnish it.

If you wish it to look like the cover or box art, it will need to be painted. The instructions provided with the kit, will also generally tell you as well, what colors to paint the individual parts of the model.

No, this wouldn't be the best choice, it has lots of tricky gluing, and is kind of tricky painting. My suggestion would be the Revell P47 Thunderbolt, much better for a beginner.

Yes you need to buy paint and glue. All you get in the box is the model, instructions, and a decal sheet.

It would have to be a REALLY good paint. It's finish is very solid and polished. I'm afraid the paint might not stick to it very nicely. But I'm also not a painter. I assume some REALLY good paint and about 2 coats should be okay. I would personally take the risk. Hope this helps you.

you will need glue and paint. this is not an beginners kit with a lot of small parts. also the the rods and pistons mechanisms attaching to each wheel is very difficult. take your time to assembly each part carefully by dry fitting each one

Youll need paint. Hobby stores should have em. The model comes in pieces. You have to paint and put together all the parts and pieces. All made of plastic so you gotta be careful and gentle.
