Dose this model require painting, or just the application of the decals?

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!

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.

From what I recall it does not. I did paint mine with a flat black. It is a neat model and does not require a lot of skill to put together.

in order to get the model looking authentic, there is some painting involved. The instruction booklet tells you what paint colors are required. It's very easy and don't need much experience to make to look good.

No they do not... I purchased a painting kit along with mine.... The kit does detail the camp pattern and how the model could be painted. For the most part, the entire model is dark gray with a few pieces which are light gray.

I painted mine to match my vendor display but I didn't see any logos or graphics on prior to painting.

Yes you will need paint and glue. It could be left white if you did not want to paint the model. It's a very detailed plastic model for an intermediate to experienced builder.

You need to paint it. It's an amazing product..my dad took 3 months to complete it..each little piece needs to be painted.

This particular rocket is ready to go out of the box. No painting needed. I have painted other rockets with spray paint bought at the hardware store.

Yea u need paint. And some parts need glued What is very odd tho is that everything is a gray color. Make sure u get some dark paint. And I would recommend model cement also.

There is no actual painting required with these kits seeing as they are precolored plastic. However if you do wish to paint then yes there is more as the master grade line is 1/100 scale, so the model is just larger, also these are much more detailed than most of the other Gundam models out there, and more pieces to boot.

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.

Ofcos u need to paint more because of a big scale model. But if u wish not to paint it, it still looks ok. Color separation is really detail & accurate compare to 1/144

The body itself is clear. You chose the color to paint it. Be aware you also need to trim the plastic.

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

No, this model does not include paint nor glue. For best results I recommend buying the following paint colors: copper, black, white, tan, brown and gun metal.

I have yet to open mine, but I would say through experience of putting models together, paint and glue are not part of the kit.
