Painted this one up a few weeks ago. The more I look at it, the more perfect I think it is.

It's not over the top airbrushed with extensive detailing, etc, but it is by far the nicest vintage looking body I have ever done. Wanted to share in the paint section here.

Body is a TBG repop. Wing, buttons and wire are original as far as I know.

Here she is.

Gotta say that your lines are super crisp! Is the large 'JRX2' logo painted on aswell? My only criticism is that the body shape towards the rear seems to be lost in the black... but thats probably the effect of the camera?

I just wanted to share my first attempt at ghosting flames in my racing custom color scheme... I hand xacto'd the stencil on a blank shipping label...and did the can and paper towel trick. Its 1/16 Scale... for my .09 Mini Inferno.

Looks pretty cool but some of the detail are hard to see. An outside pic in the sun would make that paint pop.

Just wondering if anyone can steer me in the right way as too what Tamiya poly carbonite paint best matchs the rc10 orange?...

Last post

Search the site for Box Art paint.
Tamiya Camel Yellow is pretty close if you want to use a can.

First time painting one of these(the right way). What a pain masking the inside of the shell, also the fact that your first coat is the on eyou see is tough as there's no touch up. Came out pretty good all things considered.

Nice job!

I strayed from my usual race colors on this. Hard to see in the pics, but I laid down white pearl with gold flecks before spraying the purple. 8)

Pretty sexy basher, I bet it looks super when you see the pearl effect etc.
