Re: Parma Scorpion
The Parma wing mounts #10408 will be mounted on the on the shock tower by drilling two 3.25 mm holes. For a wing I will use #10401 and attaches it with a piano wire.
I have found a Kyousho Scorpion Brandwood body; this is the shorter version #10206 that ends just with the radio box. The longer version #10205 ends with the motor guard. At one state I was considering to donate tis body to TBG and resave 3 repro bodies in return. But I decided not to, sorry guys… But if I ever find another one I will donate that one t TBG.
Now to my biggest problem, painting bodies! Sins this is a rare body I should let my painter do his magic… But no, it’s a simple straight one, what can go wrong… I do it myself! Okay guys, lots of things can go wrong… maybe I should have leaved it for my painter… I have to try saving it with decals!

Re: Parma Scorpion
Thanks! I like the roller cage to, but I then you can’t use Parma’s bodies. Some time I will paint my MRP “Harris Super 1600” from ‘83Phin wrote:That's a slick body and the paint job isn't bad at all. I will forever favor the Scorpion's look with a rollcage though.

Re: Parma Scorpion
First I thought to use a repro whit radiobox, but I will use the yellow beaten up radiobox that came along with the car. I used lexan paint; silver metallic from rattle can.
Now it’s time for plaster it with decals … I have gather some Parma decals over the years…
But I think I only use Parma’s Off Road # 10601 and some Kyosho decals.

Re: Parma Scorpion
Go easy on the stickers. I hate it when people cover up a nice paint-job with too many stickers.

Re: Parma Scorpion
That´s one Mean Machine - looks good with the stickers on
Especially the ones on the tub, they look very cool.
But what´s the story about the Bridgestone decals - I don´t see any Bridgestone lettering on the Tyres

Re: Parma Scorpion
You should toss some blue alloy 4mm lock-nuts on those wheels, for that final touch! Here's some 4 cheap:
