Finally finished ! I am very happy with the result and might take it to the beach tomorrow to take some proper pics if the weather is ok.

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...

Hi Pheonix,

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

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.

Great looking buggy. It is on my short list of Tamiya vehicles I need to own. How does it drive?
