All parts to assemble should be here in the box. But this is sold as is because I can't be too sure that 1 tiny piece could be lost. I used airbrush to paint with acrylic paint on all parts. Smaller parts were with a brush. I gave up assembling this car because of arthritis in my hands and I wanted it perfect to display. I believe that this model can be soaked in purple power to remove paint and start over. I have always made it a habit on lightly gluing model cars, that's the reason it's falling apart some. And I use the C A glue.
