ok so... is it a hard requirement to use the Revell©®™ colors? Can I just paint the thing with... acrylic paint or something? How much are the paints? Will I buy all the pots for one model? Are you supposed to have all colours and then just keep building models? Do they correlate with Warhammer colouring? Why does it advertise a small airbrush spray thing?

I didn't expect it to be so complicated ;-;
