Hi guys, haven't posted in a while. How you guys holding up? I just ordered this to break up the quarantine a bit. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OXQJE6/The one thing I never liked about models was the paining part. But I was thinking I could just do it in grey primer and paint the front black like they used to deliver them. Thoughts? Any specific paint recommendations for any aspect of this build would be much appreciated! So far I've only ordered the kit and some Testors glue. Thanks!

If it were me I'd do it as an as delivered theme. You really don't see that much any more.

Paint it like my car, good luck!

If you don't care for the painting part, I would go with the gray primer/black "as delivered" look. Easy to do and simple. Also, you don't see many that way.
