I might make it. Even though I have had more issues. Need to get an other polish a final or I have to get an other cloth. The paint got scratches.also the decals wrinkled. Will sort that later.. got glass in after removing the center bar. Also glued the rear wheels and shocks. And a simple detail in the interior, a road atlas from 1987 the year when I was born ?

Nice. Huge differences between the makes. I believe Tamiya today are seen as a beginners brand and the detail are there after, but I can be wrong. There are many really advanced RC cars with allot of aftermarket. Search for Axial for example. Very true to the real deal in terms of looks, how they are engineered amd parts available.

Nice start

I keep on racing! My Magnaflow mufflers and 3mm bras tube bent and opened up in the end so it look more to scale. Alsorelocated the battery in a battery box from my PB where the tank used to sit. Made some progress to night. Decals was keeping it to getter her but had to be “washed” before applied since they where giving gray gue. The bags are thrown in the back to see if they fit ? as well as the snowboards. I guess the Swede will go to the Rockies before going home to Sweden. interior starts to come to getter, did respect the dash, had some over spray on the black. Still thinking if I make seat belts or not.. time will tell. Need to put some cans and stuf in there I guess.

Thanks man! Btw did you get the new files? I had a export problem a while. My Magnaflow mufflers and 3mm bras tube bent and opened up in the end so it look more to scale.

Got my mufflers from a fellow forum member that printed them for me. I made them for a 3,2mm tube.

Got my exhaust made with my freshly designed and printed mufflers. Also installed the battery box and cables.

Would be appreciated if you could ad it in as Jpgs ?

Drag week

Got new paint on and clear tonight.

Well its back. Need to Work on my painting. Probably need to use decanted paint in the AB to cover the panel lines better since it seems like it’s shining through. Or it might be the clear that I put on to heavy.

Sweet build! Nice details on the engine!

Super Nice build! And I will be looking for those decals from slixx since I can get hold of mor of them because I rally like it. Have that kit on the table right now. But don’t know if it will be a mascar or not..

I will get one of those at the next opportunity, thanks for the tip. As you said I went with what I had. I am trying to work on the brush paints skills as well. But I can’t get the Vallejo paints to lai down as nicely as everyone say they will. It Might have to do with patience and getting the right viscosity and coverage on each pass. I did spray the bottom color with Tamiya TS red but the bottle was bad and did not lay down good. Should have decanted it and put a drop of black in it. I should probably re do the parts for the interior ?

Had to mix the colors since I didn’t have the right one on bottle and since I have had such bad results with AB and acrylics I felt that I want to get it done, so I went the quick way.

Interior under way.

Nice!

Great turtorial. As mentioned above it would be great if some one could update with new pictures ? @iamsuperdan you are a moderator right? Is there a way to make a library of these good turtourials? I know on AF forum we also had a lot previously but they get hard to find if not in an section by its own where only turtourials are posted. Also they tend to die when the picture hosting sites no longer get paid for ? but that I guess can be sorted with this awesome forums library?

Keep it up m8 looks cool!

I get to say as AC/DC say.. because I am back! Back in Black! Hood have some swirlmarks that I could not see in primer hope it looks ok after polish. I did put a extra coat after the picture was taken so I have some room for polish.

Nice! Headers looks sweet!

Also managed to strip the paint today. So I will sand lightly to morow and then when I get the delivery of the new cans I will spray this body as well as the other one.

Thanks guys for all the inputs. Yes I rushed a bit and that cost me both time and money in getting new cans. Stupid of me. I tried to sand it down even further after I had used micro mesh and polish to try to bring it back with no luck to see if I could salvage it but I couldn’t. Also noticed more orange peel on the cab when sanding. So it went in to the pond of break fluid today. Will need to go through and brush of al the old paint to night. Have ordered new cans of primer and paint and will try to Finnish before the end of the month. Wish me luck!
