I bought this model but i did not buy neither brushes, nor paints (I have never assembled (or painted) before) which materials would you suggest?

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.

Just get a standard-size bottle variety pack of military flats paints, and a decent enough variety pack of brushes, too. Use Testor's glue -- it's great for moderate builders -- it's a little more forgiving.

I would suggest visiting a hobby store. Most hobby stores have a variety of paints and brushes to suit the needs of modelers. They could answer your questions, as well as supply you with the appropriate brushes and paints. You may also find books on aircraft/helicopter modeling there that could be of use.

I bought it as a gift for someone. If I remember correctly it didn't have any brushes.

I use a cheap paint brush. Be careful of splatter on walls as it will stain.

ABSOLUTELY !!! It would be impossible to paint the parts after assembly. And be very careful to test fit EVERY part before assembly. It makes a beautiful model but well beyond an average modeler. GOOD LUCK !!

Don't use any of the paints it comes with. Buy quality paints (masters touch) etc...

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.

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

Hey there Wade Guzman. For this MG 00 Raiser, there is no painting required what so ever. The plastic pieces are molded in their correct colors and very few marking seals are added to put the small details in that cant be put there otherwise. All this kit really needs is some panel lining and itll be a stunning addition to your GunPla collection. It sure added some bang to mine :D (ask me back if youd like an explanation of that)

I have heard that it can be modified to work with this model. Check out YouTube for the finished models with lights. Heads up on the paint, you will need to go to a specialty shop for a few of the paints. Have fun on putting it together.

I think you could paint it, with a primer. It's a little like veneer, so paint might not go on well by itself. It's a sturdy unit, but dings and chips easily. A good strong paint would improve it a lot.

I haven't tried to paint the legs. You might try Krylon paint made for plastic . Remember seeing it at Wal Mart.

I don't recommend that. Because the model is very beautiful and detailed, and you need to get the feel about how to organize the pieces, what to paint first, how to handle the crystal clear parts, when to paint and glue, and how to get the finishing an final assembly of the whole set. You can try first with a smaller model, with detailed painting, decals and clear parts, so you can acquire those skills and then go for the B52. Takes a lot of patience and well on my first model I glued the pieces before paint them and it was a huge mistake, just an example on my own experience. Good luck friend! I don't recommend that.

Maybe its a very complicated model with a lot of details .. and very small parts.. it takes one day to paint ..and needs times to glue together ..

I wouldn't hesitate to paint it. If in doubt, scuff a bit with sandpaper first.

All you really need is a file and a pair of sprue cutters (or little wire cutters) The parts are all already colored and the kit snaps together (don't let that fool you, it's still really high quality and somewhat of a difficult build) Gundam Markers make it look nicer and so does paint. So if you want it to look really good then buy paint and markers but the parts are all already colored, so it looks alright without them.
