Is the surface of the model painted semi-realistically or does it have a uniform coat of paint?

The surface is primarily uniform but does have some changes...also it comes with various stickers that provide a "damaged" look from battle

The surface is not glass smooth. It has a surface similar to when you mix sand in paint for texture.

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

The textured finish looks more like a satin rather than a gloss; think fresh Rhino-Liner. Not too shiny, not too glossy. It would work well with a matte paint job.

The Hasegawa F-22 model does require painting if you wish to have if look like the two color (dark grey and light grey) camouflage scheme of an operational aircraft. The model is a medium gray plastic that will look good if you just wish to assemble the model and leave it unpainted. This would give you a good representation of the shape of the aircraft.

It has a sheen. If were to relate it to paint sheens, it would be a satin finish.

Nope � paint quality is terrific. I actually think it's powder coated and cleared and that makes it extremely durable.

This model comes fully finished as far as color goes. The parts are molded in color and there is a lot of chrome. No painting required which is the main reason I purchased it.

It's matt and fairly smooth. It's not a rough rusty surface but it's not glossy smooth either. There are no bumps.

I think it looks fine. The wide foam brush that comes with the paint gives you the stainless "lined look". Of course, you still have the dimples but can only tell if you are up close and really looking. Hope this helps!

The model comes in gray, clear, white and chrome. Painting is required and the paint is not included.

I bought it in white. It has a finish on it. I think it would be able to be lightly sanded and painted.

This was a gift to my grandson. Some of the models that I have given him he has painted. Not sure about this one.

The model has fantastic detail. The "snap" part of it is kind of misleading, as mine still needed to be glued so that it doesn't fall into a million pieces when you pick it up or try to pose it. As far as painting goes, it shouldn't be any harder than if it were a solid color regular scale model. I plan to paint mine when I get some time and don't expect it to be any harder than other models.

It is mostly painted on but I think there is a bit of engraving g of the logo under the paint. Si if yiu try to clean it off you will still have a faint image of the logo

really its neither. it is easily polished to a gloss if that is what you want but the finish is more of a smooth plastic ready for paint, not textured. hope that helps.
