It took me ages until i finally painted these bodies as this is usually the last part i do because of the terrible effort .
One will be a Kinwald style Re-re RC10 and a matching YZ-10 with undertray. The 870C body is painted in a Keil inspired 90's color scheme with a bit of orange added. I used faskolor with 2k backing and have to confess that i always hate painting

For semi-transparent wings i use tamiya spray cans in "flat clear".
Great tip, thanks for that. I tend to keep my wings low maintenance so it doesn't matter when I smash them up racing. So this'll give them a little extra over clear lexan.
My google skills aren't turning up any picture results for the team associated painted bodies

Really is a fantastic paint scheme no matter what color combo it is. So iconic 8)

Here's a couple pictures of the body now oh, and one with the new owner of the truck :wink:.
Finally found the courage to molest the original Turbo body.
It´s painted in light blue and pearl backed with white.
It seems like the sheet of stickers has left their drawer, a darn shame as they were originals.
Anyone know the secert? Factory bodies painted are dime a dozen . Any one got a vid on how they do it?

Sadly I'm not surprised. Imagine being the poor schlub applying decals to pre-painted bodies all day long for minimum wage(if that). Line madness for sure! I'm still upset that a body and paint cost so much. :cry: I love doing it, but $25 for the...
I have the J Concepts Summer Nationals coming up in northern California, so I painted a few bodies for myself and a buddy. I am going to do a black tub RC10 build for the RC10 section, and will also be racing it in the Mod class at this race. I will...

Just noticed that all the shock collars appear to be missing..... :o
The original 'thin' ones like this car would have had are notorious for splitting, so were probably removed when they did? - or pinched from the display model when the ones on a...
