I have ordered this for a Christmas gift. What colors and kind of paint and glue do I need to buy to go with it?

I still have the sheet for it leather brown matt, black matt, gold metallic, carmin red matt,anthracite gray matt, gunship grey matt,brown matt,steel matallic, and ocra brown matt. I picked up a tester set for World War two soldiers and trucks. It had all the paint save gold. I used a tester glue. I hope this helps

Get a spray can of brown ... Flat brown for wooden planks. Really that is most of it. Everything should be painted by brush and are small details so feel free to mix or not use exact colors. The main color is brown the shield will add color along with sail.

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!

Acrylic artist paint works well for painting wood. I base coated with Tamiya deck tan then after dry used a brush to paint the wood various shades to look more realistic. Here is the link to my build. http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery/misc/sail/Viking-50-am/index.htm

This is a Kit and it will need to be assembled and covered.the parts are all pre-cut, and yes you will need to glue it together.

No paint necessary. Unless you really want it a different color. I'm sure regular spray paint will work.

No it is not. You will have to go to a hobby shop to get the paint and glue. The directions are really good.

No you need to get the spray paint and atleast a starter kit that comes with some paint and I think glue

You have to paint it and assemble it yourself. It comes in quite a few pieces.

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.

Use the paint color you choose then use a complimentary glaze over that. A good paint store can help you with the technique.

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 used acrylic paint and clear coat and it worked well, but make sure you wash it with degreaser and use a primer for best results

An instruction pamphlet comes with it. You go to replicat.org and download the free software which is complete. I would strongly advise that you purchase a roll of the tape to cover the table. If you choose to use painters tape, bigger parts tend to come unstuck before the part is finished and you have to start all over.

Just like what Dennis Valencia said. It does NOT include glue. It's a good kit. If you need help, try your local hobby shop. They'll show you what kind of glue you need, etc.

In the Instructions Page 2 I beleive. There is a list of the paints needed to do this model up right. The paints are marked in the instruction A-Z and after each letter is the proper paint color needed. To build this kit. Check your instruction sheet. There is also a list of the parts and their nominclature. This is also in the front two sheets of the instructions. Take your time and study the instructions carfully.

I think you could paint it with any good paint. I would just paint it after its installed, otherwise the paint could crack and peel. I stained mine and since stain kind of permiates the product, it would fine for me.

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.

you cannot mix it with any paint. you can only mix it with a clear medium. If you look on the description, it states this color is not the brightest. you need to charge it with a very bright light source or a true black light in oorder to get the best glow from it.

Use the instructions on Carl's website. I used 1"x3" boards from Home Depot for the frame. I connected them with metal L brackets and wood screws. After that I just followed Carl's instructions and stretched it over the frame, fastening it with a staple gun. Then I painted some tr am painted it matte black and finished it with a few coats of clear coat. Nice result.
