I dont know about the plastic primer.I just use the ordinary primer, white or grey as recomended by the colour. but other than that your good to go

just read your sig.nice one!!

Everywhere still seems to have their ranges of ts sprays pulled at the minute.But for the madbull and styrene in general ordinary halfords or hicote auto sprays work nicely.Do your primer over a few days,in thin layers with a good rub down between each.Keep your body and your paint warm( a jug of nearly boiled water works well but beware the pressure in the can increases when warm so hold the can a bit further back than normal) and away you go

This weather of late is really rubbing in the fact that i dont have one!!! Lunchbox.Pumpkin and my Scania to paint and i have no hope of getting them done

Well the body arrived today.Just waiting for the windows, tailgate and chrome to arrive

One of these days i`m going to make it to a clumber meet.....Today i have mostly been spending (again!!) new tailgate body posts and body ordered for my Pumpkin. The to do list just keeps on growing...

could be fun,Skeletor driver He-man co driver

Correct me if i`m wrong here but wasnt the MU just a rebadged pajero anyway in 1:1 form? or was the MU the non UK version of the Isuzu Trooper? Just googled it and it was the one i thought of originally,the rebadged vauhall frontera

cheers.

yeah,ive just your link.much appreciated its what i am after.Cheers

It woudnt be lurking in your showrom by any chance?

Hi all. Ive just been sitting thinking about painting the lunchbox and does anyone know of a programme available that would let me scan a picture of car body in then do my own colour designs on it? Ive just had a bit of a go in windows paint but due to my mouse skills the effects werent encouraging. Does anyone use anything? cheers phil

No probs

Hiya.Not sure about car or buggy wise but the trucks are a fairly involved build.With the gearboxes to build up on them they are a nice challenge.They arent too complex but you have to take your time and watch what your doing. I should imagine any of the three speeds will be the same

Cheers guys.I didnt know about the teu-104 being out.Whats the difference between them?

both sets should be 2x8mm with 3x10mm self tappers to hold the spotlight bracket to the rad grill. Hope this helps

Just reckoning up what i need to finish various bits abd bats so far ive got, 2mm lexan - about 4 A4 sheets some wipers,probably from the scania kit 2x 27mhz recievers two new sets of crystals 5 ESC`s - teu101`s or similar 4 pajero tyres And three fairly sensible (not hulk or spiderman) 7" action figures to make into drivers/codrivers Should keep me busy for a while

Ive kinda been a naughty boy,the ride over the tops was that scenic the other day,I`ve been again. and come home the proud father of a new lunchbox.Ah well so much for the not buying much this year

cheers guys,although that link says temporarily unavailable. i have found one on ebay,just need to figure what else i need as the tailgate and the front grill come seperate dont they,from what i remember

Cheers

But has the ordinary midnight pumkin kit been discontinued? All i can find are either XB`s or Metallic specials.I have the metallic version and really want an ordinary i can do to my own colourscheme, does anyone have the body`s? or have the part number so i can find it myself? Cheers Phil

At that price its worth it just to rob the battery,radio and motor from it.Anyway did you get a basher yet? or are you still looking?

the wheelsbase on the pajero is 9.5" wheelnut to wheelnut if its any help,so looks like it would fit lengthways

Its looking good so far Simon, but correct me if im wrong here.Dont the palfinger hiabs have a two part main boom? so it looks like yours when travelling but extends when in use? I may be wrong but i seem to remember them that way,might explain why the boom looks a tad short

Hi folks.Just a quickie about these trailers. Whats the best thing to do with the deck planks? i was going to give them a sanding and then give them a once over but whats best to do it with? a light varnish or yaught varnish or something,or does tamiya have anything specific for doing it? dont like the idea of leaving them as they are because they look untreated to be honest cheers Phil
