Well,it's all done,apart from a few touch ups and some decals I need to slap on.
Not bad for a "test body".
It's a Team Bluegroove body,I came across and bought a genuine NIP Losi body while this body was all masked up,so I thought I might as well shoot it with paint and use it as a test,before I tackle the genuine Losi body,.
I must have 30 hours in this paint,getting everything right was TOUGH...I must have drawn 20 freehand number '1's!
Can't believe how badly the wheels have yellowed over time,I guess I should give them a bath in hydrogen peroxide.
The car's new built,with a Jr's Choice motor.
I love the Junior 2s and Ts,not sure why...I have a Junior T body ready for paint,in my quest to get all of my Losi cars and trucks painted box art.

30 hours...... I'm bored after three!

Very nicely done.

^ I agree. I'm usually ready to through in the towel after masking the windows. Another fine looking body!

I have a soft spot for the Junior T and Junior 2 as well... nice looking car, well done!

Thanks!
I have an oddly strong affection for the Junior cars/trucks,too and I don't know why!
I 5 linked my Junior T a few weeks ago,hell if a 5 link can be installed,install one!
Think it's airbrush time for the Junior T body,though,that buggy body was done with Tamiya cans.

What paint did you use for the blue on the body?
