VAE's B3
As I just nearly completed a B2 project, I thought it was necessary to fuel my addiction and add a B3 to the collection
I can't believe that someone would sell a nearly built B3 new in the box for a good price of $215
Here's what I got
First thing i did was glue stick the end stickers back on the box. So far I'll I've done is mount the body and wing and add the battery foams. There's not even oil in the shocks, so that's next.
Eventually, I'm painting the B3 box art to match the box. I'm not sure if I'll end up going all out and adding all the matching electronics, but ... probably

Re: VAE's B3
I'm sure most of you have already seen the update. It's not much, because I'm procrastinating lol. The left side took a lot of work to replicate. In fact I couldn't replicate it because it seems like the sticker is slightly larger than the ones used on that body. I also found out that there are 2 different bodies used in the manual and box, so the lines aren't 100% the same. All of this just means that as long as I'm close... it's correct lol. I still have the right side to tape up, but I'm almost there.

Re: VAE's B3
Finally got her painted, now to get some correct stickers. I'll take some better photos once it's stickered up.

Re: VAE's B3
This is the only sheet I need to finish the stickers off. If anyone has it and will sell it for 10 bucks, let me know

Re: VAE's B3
Just seeing if these are hard to find.
I'm debating on weather or not to outfit my B3 Team Car with box art electronics too.
