I'm certainly no chemist but I have stripped a few RC bodies during the past few years. There are a lot of different chemicals that work to varying degrees - some work more quickly than others. Anyway, I believe in many cases the cloudiness or fog you are seeing after the old paint has been removed...

It all seems very sketchy to me. I'll believe it when Kyosho makes a formal announcement. I hope that happens soon. Same, although I saw one guy who for sure knows about it liking the "information" on one of the Facebook groups I'm in (although he may have liked because of the picture of ...

Technically not the postman, but kind of...


And I did not even include on the pictures the kits of my son (Tamiya TT02 Ford GT and Super Hotshot)

Thanks Santa and merry xmas to all

As I  reached my parents place,



I finally succeed to get my hands on my second Samurai, which I had requested my father to catch up few weeks ago... It's in decent condition and I'm very happy with it...

I needed a track tool, and wanted it to be 2WD, rear driven, and Tamiya to be able to participate to Tamiya TETC as one of the club is organizing an event. And body wise, It would be either an Alpine or an Alfa. The first one was no longer available, it is then the second one… https://i.imgur.com/Yg...

First element I started today was about wheels. I’ve not glued them. I may change them later on, as I’m not very happy with the inserts… https://i.imgur.com/PIDAJqD.jpg Once wheels were mounted on the car, I did set the ESC, and did set the trims and steering end point. Not sure those tires will req...

I started by a quadrifoglio. It’s a must. https://i.imgur.com/eflOHmH.jpg Then a serpent, another must… https://i.imgur.com/VEm6bqD.jpg And decided there will be a some stripes to remind Italian flag… https://i.imgur.com/QZSh583.jpg I did scratch my head for the side, and decided to avoid doing too ...

Another day, another step… First metallic red (PS-15), which I backed with white (PS-1) https://i.imgur.com/BMhQANl.jpg I then removed the masks for the green https://i.imgur.com/SPxPpWF.jpg And I applied metallic green (PS-17) https://i.imgur.com/UYDurUB.jpg Then I removed the masks for the white, ...

Stickers… Let me precise one thing: I hate stickers. If ever I re do a Giulia, I’ll get the windows masking to include the windows surrounding in paint… https://i.imgur.com/5zQGlU2.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Lt8Agfn.jpg https://i.imgur.com/RujxFMW.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qesFA88.jpg https://i.imgur.com...

Almost final result, although it is missing the number plates which I need to cut in white vinyl…





I’m very happy with the result…

Final touch...





(And unfortunately, I can't cut the body posts until I get the Dino 246 GT body...)

Yes thankyou, so you mean the dog bone just squashes the o ring into the cup?, surely after one run the o ring will be trashed? PS sorry if i'm ruining your thread! No, it doesn't get trashed: it just go in, and prevent the ball to move to far inside, and the target of this is to reduce the possibl...

XLR8 , the weather was perfect to get some sunlight pics today... Those should answer your interrogation about sunlight... https://i.imgur.com/ibY1qo7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IbD8xUp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1myqYs5.jpg https://i.imgur.com/EVYgUq0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/vmBLbAw.jpg https://i.imgur....

Detailed inspection of the second Samurai without getting it down to parts for the moment (have enough in the queue to work out at this stage before starting this - and the first Samurai is still waiting for parts)... I took benefit of the weather to take some pics... https://i.imgur.com/0uhsLYV.jpg...

Awesome, thank you!!! Yeah, metallic paint can look a bit different depending upon light source. Again, the car is spectacular. 8) By the way, will you post a build series here for your Wild One Blockhead? Reason I'm asking is that I've found a possible error in the manual regarding the placement o...
