What colours are required?

Colours required will depend on how you finish the kit. If you use the kit markings then you will need silver, olive drab and red for one version and olive drab and neutral grey for the other. Perhaps the best way to identify all the colours is to go on Revells web site and download the kit instructions.

does this kit have enough space to make it rc?

I don't know if you realise it, but this model is made from fairly brittle plastic. Revell make plastic models. Plus this is 1/72nd in scale, too small for the control systems (servos, batteries, control rods etc) to fit and it's too heavy to fly successfully and not very aerodynamic. Assuming that you ever managed to get this to fly, the slightest mistake and this will smash itself into a large number of very small pieces. There is a fairly large selection of B17 Fortress RC models on Amazon. Can I recommend you buy one of those as they are already set up for RC and are much lighter as well as less fragile, albeit somewhat more expensive.

Wbay colour paints will I need for this, I wish to buy them before I recieve this model kit?
