Keichousaurus, Real, Fake or Restored?

Hello,

I just bought a nice Keich at Tucson for a good deal, but I am curious, how much is composited or restored? If it is completely fake I will be taking it back as I have the contact information of the dealer. I know surely part of it is painted, which I don't mind for display purposes and I was happy with the price, but I am hoping at least the majority is real. I put an alcohol wipe over part of it and some paint came off on the left arm beside the white stripe, but throughout the center there was no paint. They told me there were a few repairs, but I am hoping that is all that it is...

Teeth and left arm are the areas I am suspect of. On the back, there are two raised slabs that they said were to keep the cracks together.

The preparation leaves something to be desired, but it looks pretty real to me.

That is how I feel, I know I would not be willing to pay for what it would take to buy a museum quality one so I am fine with it. But too much paint I am not fine with, if it's just the arm and tail I don't care.
