Tamiya 2001 Subaru WRC

Well, i have finaly stepped up to the better model kits and ordered a Tamiya 2001 Subaru WRC.

I've just got a quick question for the kit.

Which paints do i need to buy for it? Is the body already painted in the subaru blue or should I get some cans to paint it?

I am new, so and help with paint you can give me on this kit would be great.
BTW, does anybody else have and pics of the WRX model that they've done so I can use for a reference?

Thanks a lot guys.

hope this helps.....

I got the first one, not the great britain one.
How many of those colours do you think that I'm actualy gonna really need? Its ok if the car doesnt look absolutely perfect but I also dont want it to look really cheap. So which colours do i really need to make the model look half decent?

Thanks for the help guys.

i find that. Semi Gloss Black, Chrome Silver, Flat Aluminum, Gun Metal, Red, Clear Red, Clear Orange r the most important..
thats wat i think tho..it's up to u wat color u want and stuff..
hope this helps..
