COMMENTS: Painting is not required, but a good choice for enamel model paint in
            a large variety of colors would be the Humbrol line found under
            vendor prefix ARXR.
          Even though the manufacturer rates this kit as easy to build, this
            model contains many pieces and much finish work is required
            Previous modeling experience is helpful.
