Grumpy pants 4485 Posted February 27, 2022 I’m after inspiration please to build my WW2. I’ve seen a couple on Google images that are getting my interest - and I’ve remember I have a small number of hop ups kicking around in my spares. So please show me your version and tell me the best hop ups you’ve got! BTW- I’ve got some comical shocks, steel pinion, wheelie bar and some TL 01 stainless steel shafts, set of GF01 wheels, alloy servo stays and various motors hiding somewhere 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It had a Porco Rosso scheme and pilot. Amazing stuff. All from a drinks bottle too! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
