>>6160788It really depends on the kit. If you choose a model with a multitude of color separation (e.g. Boba Fett, any of the Rebel ships) then yeah, you can expect a lot of work involved to make it look screen accurate.
But if you choose a character/ship with relatively simple design and less color separation (e.g. Stormtrooper, TIE Fighter), then you can be confident that it won't require as much work out of the box to look good.
And before anyone suggests just buying Black Series because it's cheap, keep in mind not everyone lives in the US, and model kits can sometimes work out cheaper than importing Hasbro figs.
