Thanks guys!

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!

Just like magic.. Incredible nice one.

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.

I love that color scheme! I wonder why...don't worry about your paint-job, it rocks!

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 ‘83

Okay, that’s explains why was stuck with that scheme… You planted that wing in one of my other topics…

Thanks Dennis!

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.

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

Lars, I´m not saying that You´re crazy, but that´s a HUGE collection of parma stickers

It’s from my oval days in the early 90'

Let me introduce the “Bad to the Bone Scorpion”, and this is how it ended up. Feedback is Welkom!

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

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