Already started on the build and it does need some paint if you want to make it "perfect". I do like the basic color of the parts so I wont be painting it. You do need some h45 mr.hobby light blue (if I remember correctly). This is for the wings and tailfins. You do get some water decals so I will Apply them. I do like the size this kit has and I think it will look great next to TB2 Crappy first picture:

thanks :) like i said the only thing you need to do is paint the tip of the wings and the tailfins. and apply the stickers. no body paint unless you want to go the extra mile :P
base color is nice. for me atleast

I had forgotten how small TB1 was next to TB2! It looks great, though I am sure there are going to be a few who mod it!

The color balance seems to be different.The nose cone looks more orange in the last set of photos rather than red.
