Re: Specops Fast Attack Vehicle
First time i airbrushed a complete car with Tamiya Acrylics. They work flawless at 20PSI or so, you just need tons of mat clear on top if you really want to also drive it. The fun thing is that you can really airbrush everything to blacken it out completely.
The screen above the driver is a piece of mesh metal from the hobby store. Like the others a very easy mod you can apply to the FAV. Here some updated pics:

Build a desert storm variant to compliment ours I already had to figure out the correct color codes for the uniform of my driver which took days in case you want them...

Nice work. Love that you did everything flat black including motor and wires.

Hi Pheonix,
Yeah I would like the colours, if you've done all the hard work.
Mine is still in pieces unbuilt.
Cheers
Chris

Re: Specops Fast Attack Vehicle
It's like, how much more black could it be? And the answer is none. None more black.
A word of caution about those hop-up shocks: watch out for the cartridges popping out of the front shocks. Not sure what it is, but one of mine just won't stay put.

Re: Specops Fast Attack Vehicle
Great looking buggy. It is on my short list of Tamiya vehicles I need to own. How does it drive?
