F-350 High Lift owners test / quiz

[DJTheo]

i had the wife searching the parts trees etc and i grabbed the decal sheet and the nitro motor was about the only really odd thing i could find.

LOL, now that is what I call putting diligence to the hobby [Y], weird though that noone else noticed it before... []

Any chance of a pic of this decal for those less fortunate of us who haven't got a kit?

I am pretty sure I have seen the EP/Gp sticker on other kits, maybe the Dark Impact even... so not that shocking, just lazy I think

Same here, I noticed it but just assumed it was some new Tamiya Logo.

 Would be cool though!

Do you have a pic of it, made me curious.

Thanks!

I´ve seen the same on the decals of my M03M Suzuki Swift kit.[]

But I don´t think there will be a M-chassis Nitro version. [:S]

Doh, it really showed now that the F350 is my only 583xx kit except some re-releases [:S]

Nigeninja, the extra gear is a big-rig spur gear. They use the same gearset.

I had noticed the  EP/GP designation on the F-350 sheet and had asumed it simply meant they were suitable for either;  I've found that some of the older EP specific decals don't hold up so well to the nitro residue that tends to dissolve the glue.

 

I had actually just noticed this thread and my guess was going to be the 'smoke' colored coating on nearly everything in the kit -- Even the chrome grill and bumpers got this treatment.  Did the Juggernaut come like this?  Personally I love it, as it really makes the detail look crisper in spite of the heavy chrome plating.  Notice that bright 'white' chrome looks kinda toyish?  (Even real 1:1 chrome looks sort of bluish to me..)

The juggernaut has a brighter chrome.  the chrome on the high lift is similar to what comes on the knight hauler which gives it a deep chrome effect.
