You MUST have.

Scalpel
Tweezers
Scissors
Brushes (Sizes 1, 0, 000)
Plastic glue
Clear glue, such as Kristal clear (For all clear parts, and adhereing painted parts)
Various Wet & Dry papers (From car shops)

Then your paints. Get everyone mentioned in the kit if you can, and also a thinner to clean your brushes in.

Please spray the body, it is easier than brush painting it, trust me!

Tamiya do a spray for most colours, but you are best to use Automotive paints, as described in my article on the Subaru WRX.

Good luck!
