Hello. I'm a little confused. Does the spoiler come painted or does it just come with the paint for oneself to paint? Thank you.

It comes painted with the color code you supply to them and ready to install.

Painting is optional. If you are happy with the original look, then it should not be a big issue. I didn't paint mine either. Good Luck!

It is not pre painted. The runners are multiple colors so painting isn't strictly necessary; it'll look pretty cool without. That said, if you want to do panel lining that will improve the look, and if you have a talent for painting you can certainly make it pop better than the plastics.

If you want it to come out like the picture does, then it does require considerable painting. Technically, any model you don't have to paint, it's all in how you want it to come out. I did all the painting required and it came out beautiful, it's now one of my favorite models that I love to show off. Not sure if you saw it in the description, but one of the selling points of this model for me is it contains the decals for each shuttle, including Enterprise, so you can build whichever one you like. Hope this helps!

The decal comes in separate pieces. You won't get a diagram as to how to arrange the display. It'll be up to you and your imagination how you'll like it to look. I wish I could upload a pic of ours. It's very different from the one that's with the description and I think it's a better design.

I think that piece is part of the paint jar set. It's misleading because it is not part of the paint box. The only separate part is the tray. For it's size, the box is actually pretty roomy. Hope that helps.

Yes. Emblem came with kit. Stuck mine on back spoiler. It is plastic but looks pretty good!

oops...the bottom is painted but the top is not. sorry for my previous answer. I told this to my wife and she said yes it has the painting. Why would it matter?

It's not painted. It's a lot of fun to paint the plane, but it look decent without the paint. As my first batch I didn't have the confident to do the painting.

I would still paint it myself and ignore that the pre-colored design is there. I have not built mine yet but the quality is definitely on par with Tamiya.

The one that I bought was "colorless". i.e. I had it painted the color of my car (red). But it was a perfect fit. It so happened that I had a little left-over paint (car paint of my car), and a body shop did the paint for something like 30$. I installed it myself, easily in about an hour. So all in all, way better that at the dealer, they were asking some 300$ with taxes and everything.

I painted mine with geometric patterns to match our grandsons playroom . I did not do anything before I painted. I put on a dealer after I was done to make sure the paint did not get worn off. I have have it this way for over 6 months and no problems so far and it looks great!!

I have purchased this item and yes it arrives clear. It must be painted by the buyer. But thats the fun of it!!!

The paint job varies from one to the next since it includes a wash, which is random by nature. That said, the paint job on mine is great. Sculpting on bicepts and arms is excellent. Take a minute to look at more pics online, there are plenty of them out there. This really is an amazing figure, one of my favorites all-time.

someone asked if they can paint it themselves.. so yes I imagine with the right tools you can. I personally took it to my auto body guy and they charged 50 to paint and install. Hope that helps J

You need yo paint the hull but it has decals for most if the details.only problem is the decals it comes with are terrible and don't come off the paper easily
