What paints do I need for this model

I use Tamiya paints. I get the base for US aircraft. Aluminum, Grey, Red, Med Blue, Flat Black and Gloss black. The colors u need are in the directions though

were can you buy the paint that they say you need?

Any hobby shop or even Amazon sell the required paint.

I bought this elsewhere and it's missing pieces. Any idea how to get them.? The Revell website wasn't much help.

In the past if kits were missing parts the company would replace them free of charge if you contact them, not sure if they still do. Look for contact info email, phone number on their site.

What type of Paint and glue should i buy? I just started building these type of kits.

I personally like the Tamiya line of products. I use their acrylic paints and cans. I also use their Tamiya Thin Cement for gluing
