Can you briefly give out dimensions of the plane like length and wingspan? much appreciated. thank you.

Hi, this is a 1/72 scale model of the Gerwalk Valkyrie. The model just got delivered to me from Japan today, January 26, 2017, so I have not build it yet. However, the box does provided the dimension after it has been built. Converting from metric to inches, the length is a bit over 5.25 inches and the wingspan is about 7.75 inches when extended. I also have the 1/72 scale of the airplane mode of the Valkyrie and the length is 7.75 inches and the wingspan is also 7.75 inches when extended. The 1/72 scale model of the Battroid Valkyrie is a bit over 8.6 inches tall. I built the 1/72 scale Ban Dai's transformable version (the model can be converted to all 3 versions of the Valkyrie) before and I can tell the dimensions provided above are very similar. Having the Gerwalk, Airplane and Battroid Valkyrie together as a display will look quite nice, especially for Macross fans!

Does it transform? Does it have to be assembled? Thanks.

No it doesnt. Its a high detail model kit. Requires assembly and painting. The transforming ones are the Chogokin DX ones and cost $150 and up

What kind of Paint do I need to finísh this model? Do that came with the model?

Any kind of model paint you prefer. Acrylic or enamel. Ranging from Testor, Model Masters, Citadel to Vallejo. And, no it doesn't come with paint. It is a Hasegawa, meaning it is a VERY intense model kit. That being said, it is beautiful when completed

Is this a model kit or does it come already assembled and painted?

this is a model kit, assembly and painting are required
