Hi all, Ive never built a model in my life. I saw this on tele and thought id have a go at it. Im usually pretty good at following instructions but after reading some of the forum starting to get worried.. still gonna have ago tho :) issue 1 arrived today, can anybody tell me the paints i need? I went to the model shop today and brought Tamiya x33 bronze, and xf 9 hull red, are they ok? i also need to get black but didnt realize whilst i was in the shop.
