Use polycarbonate, whatever your LHS tells you. Mine advised me to use Acrylic and it flaked off when I picked up the shell and fell off after running.....

No question, polycarb shell = polycarb paint, given the price and quality of a Tamiya bodyshell you'd be spoiling the ship for a happenth of tar!!!!

Acrylic is fine on an injection moulded body but not very strong, plastic enamel is much stronger but more difficult to use.
