Does it need to be painted? How close does an unpainted model resemble what is pictured in the description?

The model does look very good once assembled. It looks very close to what is pictured on the box, and some simple panel lining will make quite an attractive kit.

The models do not need to be painted. They look a lot like the model in the description or from the Space Battleship Yamato 2199 animated series. The 1/160 scale Gamilan planes that are the bonus kits do require painting.

it doesn't need painting but then again if it isn't it wont look like the picture.

Some painting is needed if you wanted but for the most part the model is in the colors alreadyYou could detail it if you want it to

Yes, you have to paint it yourself after you assemble it. It's just grey plastic.

It comes stained... In fact you can smell the stain pretty strongly when unpacked so you'd probably have to sand it down again to paint it.

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!

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.

Sorry I cannot give a definitive answer since I haven't tried to paint it. It is lighter than the picture shows, however, it is an attractive piece. As we know, for perfection and having it exactly was we want, you have to pay. Price is right for this one. I also don't know much about paints. I believe it is doable but would have to gently take the top finish off. It may take a little effort but again cannot make any guarantees. Hope that was somewhat helpful.

Yes - I painted mine and it took paint well. i lightly sanded it - just roughed it up a bit - and painted it with 2 coats of paint. That was almost 4 years ago & it still looks great.

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.

Yes, the figure is painted and assembled, not a model kit. It comes with extra accessories you can add or swap out with other parts.

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)

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.

The figures come unpainted. If you go to plaid hat games' website you can find a guide to paint the figures yourself.

Yes, it is a great model that requires both paint and glue. I painted it ivy green.

The color is very close. It would thinking painting would work if you sand the finish sufficiently before assembly.... Sounds like a lot of work though.

This is a plastic kit manufactured in white plastic and un-assembled. It needs to be assembled using polystyrene cement (I prefer to use a liquid poly rather than a tube of polystyrene cement). Once assembled model will need painting using usual enamels or acrylics of your choice. The colour photo depicts the box art on the box containing the model. It is a nice model which is also easily converted to an ex USN patrol gun boat used by the South Vietnamese Navy during the Vietnam war 1965-1975.

Painting should not be a problem. A light sanding and you should be good to go!

Hi Jake. I think that it would be best to paint it. It has a non-reflective paint on it, making it hard to see. I hope that it works out. Enjoy it!! Pat King.

Any normal model glue, such as Testors or Tamaiya, should be fine. You could either paint it with either enamel or acrylic model/hobby paints. (I think acrylic gives a better look for something like this, but that's just personal preference.) Colors can either be those suggested (can't recall if it lists colors on the box or only in the instructions, which I don't have on hand) or you could look at photos or paintings of Viking craft and see if there's an alternate paint scheme that is more appealing. Hope that helps--and hope the person getting this has fun with it!
