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

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.
