pikachoo-75 3 Posted August 1, 2010 isnt the shell held on with the remains of the "motor brace" are they showing the build just to scare off any of us left who would buy it? incidently,are the white gears on the super g different material from the rest of the DT02 range.the reason i ask is my old super g had solid white coloured gears,not like the yellowy white gears any of my other Tamiya's have?

kstar 0 Posted August 1, 2010 I was planning to get one, as It was a cheap kit and I just found out how fun it's to build and paint. But this is almost RTR in my eyes. Is there any chance you can paint this shell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there any chance you can paint this shell? It's only the driver's head and hat that's painted, you could always strip it back and do it yourself. The body has been painted before now, but due to it being polythene, paint and primer doesn't key into it all that good and, consequently, comes off quite easy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kstar 0 Posted August 1, 2010 That frightens me a bit. I wan't the paint to look good and I ain't no master on painting. I want a yellow HB2010. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It holds as firm as STD hard shells (my old shell has been through years of abuse) way back when the paints didn't work.

Singapore_959 18 Posted August 5, 2010 the cassie look like not 'fitted' with the body, any oppinion? No no, it's perfectly natural. They were just like that in the day. It will probably sell out quickly, it's a very beautiful and thoughtful re-re design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's only a little over 2 years ago that I paid £320 all in, delivered to my door, for a Full Option Knight Hauler from Jason. It would cost me not far off double that now.
