>>10526712You can get away without painting in 2 cases:
>you assemble the kit OOB + minor pin wash/panel line>you are capable of modding the kit cleanly using only the kit's own plastic (that includes adding panel lines, drilling barrels etc)In all other cases you are painting.
Pic related is unpainted (aside from flat coat) and fairly heavily modded, but I am never doing that to myself again (at least not willingly).
