Awesome.
I would do a florescent blue and white scheme and split the colors with a florescent yellow pin stripe.

Box art is always a good staple!
A lot of people seem to like the paint I laid down on my Associated RC10T2,maybe you could come up with something along those lines?
Simple but effective.
Anyone got any ideas on how to paint my X-60 body?!

Paint/detail the trim around the windows and the bed. Leave the rest clear so you can see the goodness below.
Add a few more period stickers, and remove the black foam double stick tape from the wing. Use some of the clear silicone basedtape instead.
I've always wanted to do one up like that for a shelfer, but my paint skills stink so I either leave them clear or do a single color ;(

You are too kind
lowrydesign, If you really want to get slick, paint the bed/roll bar on the outside for a matt/textured look like the old andy's pro-painted bodies.

Nice buildup, but it's a cacophony of colors...I prefer a more subdued, coherent color scheme.
