Do I have to do any painting?
Most of our kits are molded in one or two colors. You don't have to paint them, but painting your model will really made a big difference and make your model different from everyone else's.
What type of paint do you suggest?
Any paint that is made for plastic models should work well. There are a number of brands of spray paint made for plastic as well as bottled paints. You may want to brush paint some of the detail in addition to spray painting larger walls. While you can find a variety of spray paints sold in discount stores or home centers, we can't always guarantee that they won't affect the plastic in your model. Some of them are lacquer based and could attack the surface of your model.
