Good luck.

Ask the shop if you can open the kit and look at the instructions. Inside you'll find a paint list, try to buy 2 or 3 of the most commonly used paints. They probably will be:

X-11 (Chrome Silver)
X-18 (Semi Gloss Black)
XF-16 (Flat Aluminum)

That should keep you busy for about a day or so :smoka: while you browse the forums and decide what you need next.

It's a Tamiya kit, so you shouldn't have any fit problems. Good luck and happy modeling :smoka:
