Nice! You did a great job on those bodies. Blitzer looks like the Monster Beetle next to the DT-02 I love old air cooled VW, the Bus is the one that I can't get enough of. I bought (4) Tamiya VW Bus bodies, and have been looking for a place to put the last (2). Lunch Bus? :D https://i.imgur.com/46vZ...

Yeah, the nose fits very tight between the fenders without paint. I can't see how you could install it after paint. Not without scratching it anyway. I paint mine as an assembly. On the Blitzer Beetle body (maybe SS body as well), there was an odd recess above the front fenders (ahead of the gas do...

If you wanted a six gear, short arm car, with so-so tires.

Looks like BS to me. If there actually are 4 available tubs, they are probably rere tubs from the blow-out AE did last year... or the year before.

Some photoshop BS on that nose too.

I find nothing wrong with offering replacement parts. If they are made using tooling that AE owns and without their permission, then obviously that's a problem. With a bit of luck they are from the "lost" molds from the first re-re :lol: Comparing the 2013 re-re to the current RC10CC chas...

If these are legit, guaranteed they are coming from somewhere in Asia, the Cali address is just likely a shipping point domestically.

I agree about the wheels but the body doesn't bother me that much. With some aftermarket wheels and a few carbon bits it should look pretty nice. But, like Doug mentions, mine will likely sit on the pile of unbuilt kits :lol: Also, let's not start a cab forward thread again, lol, lest we forget all ...

This servo might be overkill for this model, going to need to setup the D/R to slow it down. iumBL66WRtM Bought the ebay cheapy LED kit for $14, it's less expensive if you get the one without the fake Tamiya sticker on it. This one comes with (12) LED's, and I only need (2) for the Beetle, so I'll h...

Looking good. You're brave to tackle the nose-body gap. I chickened out on mine. :lol: Yours looks really smooth, excellent prep work! Is that with the primer on it? Going to prep the body today by roughing the exterior to get it ready for primer. The weather has not been good for painting anything...

Pilot forgot his lunch and went back for it . Or it might be a chem trail of those weird drugs that make you want to vote Trump :?: :lol: Record high inflation Rollercoaster fuel prices Lost retirement investments Economic instability Unsecure borders Weak military leadership Incompetence Lost repr...

The other resto stickers done. I think it's the protector body so I made the stickers work as best I could. Not perfect but I can try again with the 40th right?

Looks like BS to me. If there actually are 4 available tubs, they are probably rere tubs from the blow-out AE did last year... or the year before. Some photoshop BS on that nose too. :lol: Except anno color and no letter stamp. Oh, were re-re tubs stamped? Anyway, seller knows how to use Photoshop ...

And another small step forward…at least for now (ps getting those red o-rings to stay in place while screwing the tank back in was a thing of nightmares)

Well, it's been a few months since our precious Louie left us, so time for a new four-legged bundle of bark. This is Rudy , a 2 1/2 year old Kelpie. 20240316_165039.jpg We adopted him from a home where he was pretty much locked outside all day, and locked in the laundry all night, with NOTHING in be...

Raced these two magnificent Kyoshos today. Some of it in the wet. IMG_20240428_175122878.jpg The Ultima in 17.5 and the Turbo Scorpion in Silvercan. Nothing broke, and I was not exactly kind to them. Was an ongoing battle with tires though. Going to have to get a few different sets mounted for next ...
