Tamiya Buggy Champ - 2009 Reissue Rough Rider

[Dangeruss]

That settles it, going with the cage style up front for the SS. Need to figure out which model.

The paint choices didn't get any easier today, knowing the manual may be pointing to TS-10 French Blue.

TS-10 French Blue, TS-93 Pure Blue, TS-44 Brilliant Blue

Still can't decide.

Hmm, tough one... Think I'd go with the first bumper, smoother looking top tube and some button heads for the attaching screws would help with ground clearance easier than countersinking the top tube of the second bumper.

I'd agree, box art looks like the can on the left, French Blue?... which is how the restored Bel-Ray Bullet looks.

Front bumper is on the way, got the countersunk top bolts model. Another TS-10 French Blue can is on the way, with some TS-13 Clear too.

@6:19 they're loading up the Bel-Ray Bullet.


The older guys I used to dirt bike with told me to check out the movie, On Any Sunday, long ago, that was the first time I'd heard of Malcolm Smith. This one is a classic.



Got the top in primer, and the driver head and lights glued. Going to use putty and sand paper to remove the seam on the drivers head, and get the lights perfectly smooth and round.


Have the Bel-Ray Bullet decals on the way too, has to say Malcolm Smith if I'm going to do this.
