Project RC10 MIP Legend 4-10 (Aug 9th, 2011 updated)

Post by minimini »

admired the MIP Legend 4-10 for a long long time...........finally got the chance to pick up a complete set few years ago........eventually squeezed some time to get the project started recently.......... :)

the first thing to do is to dye the parts all black........:)

the next thing is to get a new "C stamp" black tub & the truck nose plate.........because I am going to use the wide track front arms.......... & the front shock tower will need to have some modifications......which will be shown later..........:)

also, I need to re-do the countersinking on the black tub as the original holes are too shallow...........:(

start with some bread and butter first..........:)

stay tuned......... :D

We haven't had a 4-10 build in a while. It'll be interesting to see what you do with the tower on a truck nose plate.
