I have used normal plain spraypaint from Dupli-colar, including primer and also a clear coat for the body

Thanks for the answer. Tried the soapy Water with a few small stickers and it went well. Now i'm les worried about the big stickers. Regards Johnny

Hi Tamiya-freinds I have started my first Tamiya build, a Scania R620 and have reached the point where the first stickers are going to be Applied. My earlier build have included decals, which seams a bit easier, as they can be moved around to the correct position. Not so with stickers, one of the first ones (luckily a small one) went wrong at had to be moved resulting in peeling of the paint. Not so good! Any advice in applying stickers would be nice. I'm a bit scared about the big sticker for the cab-sides. By the way, below is a link to Flickr with some Pictures of my build so far. I think it´s quite nice so far. More Pictures are on there way.

I have just signed up on a flickr acount and uploaded some Pictures. Working on making a link to these.

Hi again Well underway in my build, i thought i would post some pictures, but it seems difficult because the taken picture-files are to big. What do i do? I started assembling and testing alle the electronics and after a few frustrations it all seems to work as desired. So far i have painted most of the frame-parts and assemblied the frame and the modified front axle. The color is a very sharp red (RAL 3000) and i think it looks good. Next comes the rear axles and gearbox. The cap, side panels and fenders are being painted metallic blue. Regards Johnny

Hi again Thanks for the answers. I think i'll paint all the frame and suspension parts before assembly but off the sprues. It's guite a big job but i believe this will give the best result. I'll try posting some pictures then i'm well under way. Best regards Johnny

Hi there! I'm new in the RC-World and new in the Tamiya Club. Just ordered a Scania R620 with Servonaut Electronics, a low-rev motor and modification parts for the steering gear . I have made quite a few plastic truck models in scale 1/24, there all parts are to be painted, including frame, axles, suspensions and so on. I would be pleased to get some advice in what to to best on my new truck. The cab is no problem, this must of course be painted. I will also paint fueltanks and fenders. But what about the rest. Should i leave it unpainted, like i have seen in many pictures? Or what should i do with: The main frame Axles, front and rear Suspensions and other "moving parts" such as front steering gear, drive shafts Regards Johnny
