Yes they are. Enamel is another sort of hobby paint that anyone can use, either with a hand brush or an airbrush, but automotive urthane paint is highly toxic and can only be used through an airbrush, not for the casual hobbyist.

I just spent 10 hours putting this together today,i was in no hurry 
For such a small model there sure are like millions of pieces to put together,my fat fingers are not meant for small models like this,i was really struggling at times with the smaller pieces.I broke some of it too,it was fun though,the hours went fast.

So for those who have it, is it that difficult to put together? Im scared to break it while putting it together, but it also looks like alot of fun to build.

Yay, guess what came today...
Unfortunately, they packed in such a cheap way that half the box got crushed
, but there was a nice suprise attached to the side...
Battle hooks!!! I thought this was some kind of exclusive, I bought the kit off ebay, so no idea this was included.
Now to building this baby!!!

Niiice, you should make a group purchase and sell those weapons as a kit.
Sweet, how much did you get the kit for?

Hey Encline,
I was wondering if you could post a link to the type airbrush and compressor you use?

Just finished building mine, but it came with one wrong part, I got two right pieces of the blue shoulder plate instead of one left and one right, ugh!

I got an extra blue shoulder plate but I don't remember which side it is. I will check tonight and let you know if I have the one you need.

Last week if anyone can remember I posted my kit was packaged with 2 of the same pieces. I was pretty bummed out about it. I tried emailing all of the big (and some little) online retailers who carried the kit to see if they had any returns so I could buy the piece off of them. Sadly no one had any.
In a last ditch effort, I somehow navigated through the Takara Tomy website and found their customer service form (completely in ___anese). Using Google Translate and a lot of patience I filled out the form to the best of my ability. I knew it was a long shot, but I figured I would try anyway.
The next morning I check my email and I get this email...........
Today I get home and I received a parcel which was shipped EMS from Takara. It was packaged really nicely and to my surprise it was almost the entire A sprue. I now have the part I needed and a few extras.
I have to say I am really impressed by Takara Tomy and I just want to say thank you for helping me out guys, I really appreciate it

Cool, how long did the process take when you requested it? I'll check my pieces before I start building it. Glad you got your missing piece and then some.
