Just needs an equally impressive body to go with it now. Hurry up and get it painted.
Thanks! Feel free to use them on your site!
I am cutting it out tonight, will be painted this week with a little luck - the motivation is there!

Cut the shell out last night & mounted it, its all ready for paint now
For some reason i think it looks cool clear as it allows you to see the parts underneath that would be otherwise hidden from view. Still gonna paint it though

The truck looks great. Makes kinda wish not letting my new built XXT MF edition go. I got a good DS out of the deal but that was the closest I have come to a brand new old rc. Again great truck.

Cheers for the comments. Is it the MF1 that had the red wheels etc, or the MF2? I am thinking that might be what I go for after my G+ build (thinking ahead a little!)

OK, so I threw on some paint tonight, not as much as I had planned because a mate came round and we started on a few beers (see first photo), but so far so good, although I am now thinking the red is too bright, and also the kit stickers are not the same as the box art, which leaves me a little stuck!

Haha, 3 different beers, and 2 different kinds of potato "like" chips.
Don't spill on the body or touch it with greasy fingers.

Couple more colours tonite, now ready for window tinting and the rear to be painted. I've fitted it on the truck already and it looks great, but I am gonna save the 'reveal' until its fully complete. In the mean time, here's where its at:

Hehee, cheers! yeah, that was achieved by lightly spraying black behind the candy blue, then all backed with white. From the box photo it looks like there is a dark blue fade, hence why I did it!
Its all going really well so far!
