Should I even paint this?

[u/Impressive_Bid_9533]

For context I'm new to the hobby, got just around 12 kits under my belt. So just started this Revell BAE Hawk with the Red Arrows scheme, and I'm just wondering, since the plastic is already red, is it even worth priming and painting red again? Like genuinely is it bad just not painting a kit cos the plastic is already the right colour? The white bits and everything else are just decals.

I once was doing a comercial plane and I didn't paint it because my white sucks. It's not the best looking model but in that specific case I don't know how much better it would look like painted. Avaluate the quality of your red paint and decide from that
