karbuildr Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I like what you did with your paint colors, the final result looks good. I just got a can of Tamiya TS-53 for a future build, it looks like a very cool color. Wheels and tires are very nice as well. Good job.

slusher Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Michelle I like the color but is that sand marks in the side of the body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
