When I was about 10 or 12 back in the early 1960s this exact model came out for the first time and I did not paint it as I had no experience and the paints were the spray can kind that were really smelly. I now paint all of my models since I have about 50+ years of experience. So depending on the experience and the paint that you have, I would consider painting it.

You could go onto the Revell website and see if they have the instructions for this kit, this will also show you what type of paint you will be needing. You could also paint it whatever color you would like aswell. **Q: What the Length from nose to tail end?** A: It's approximately 8 inches in length. For comparison's sake the 1/72 scale version is 5.25 inches. **Q: Is this item appropriate for a 10 year old boy to build** A: Easily, especially if he's built other models. It does require cement. ## Frequently Bought Together - Revell 1:48 P - 40B Tiger Shark Plastic Model Kit, 12 years old and up, Camo - Cement Glue Value Pack Testors 2-7/8 fl oz tubes - Rustark 9Pcs Gundam Model Tools Kit Hobby Building, Repairing and Fixing Set for Kids --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1356674-1-48-p-40b-tiger-shark-plastic-model-kit](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1356674-1-48-p-40b-tiger-shark-plastic-model-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
