Do you have to paint it?

Allyson, that's a very good question and I can certainly answer it for. 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.

Do you have to paint it?

Yes, all Revell models that are skill level 2 and higher all require painting. 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.

What the Length from nose to tail end?

It's approximately 8 inches in length. For comparison's sake the 1/72 scale version is 5.25 inches.

Is this item appropriate for a 10 year old boy to build

Easily, especially if he's built other models. It does require cement.
