On the Hunter, the paint killer did the job on the Gold... Almost I should say. It was painted from inside and outside for the Gold, and the part under the stickers are still there... I do question myself about removing the stickers or keep them...

Bill Elliot sits now proudly on the Marui chassis

At this stage, this chassis has no electronics, the runner is not going to be this one...

I did add a few details to the bodyshell using some trim line applied inside the bodyshell...

I'm very happy with the result...

I did put the Shogun driver figure and bodyshell on the chassis. I've not done any work on this chassis yet, it's not clean, but there is a very good basis for nice restoration (I have a plan for a Shogun runner beside this one: this one has been lightly ran, and is in pretty good shape, at the exception of one tire with a flat spot).

And I just noticed that I probably swap the wheels from right and left side :-) which means there will be another set of pictures at some point :-)

Another body cleaned...
Image

Red and white went out quite quickly. Black followed... After 24 hours of green bath I decided to remove it from the bath and take the gold out with paint killer. The body is a bit damaged at the front right, probably due to a collision. But that could still make it for a runner... I'll have to get organized to paint this bodyshell at some point, most likely with a simpler shema than the shelfer...
