Crash Cramer 617 Posted August 5, 2015 See, THIS is why such build topics are so helpful, the deciphering of the Tamiya codes is done by some actual person with a ruler and some build sense. Thanks for helping all of us out, so when it comes to backwards compatible pieces that are easily bought now to put on our old cars, it is all here in full color. It is interesting how there is "marbleing" even on the gear cases molded in that wheel color. AGES ago, I had a guy offer to paint up some wheels since they would look much better with the custom painted bodyset he offered to do and then I could mount both up to the TA chassis I was thinking would suit it best. I wish I could say all that happened, but it seems all that got lost in the shuffle, so, never built to date and the obscurity of that body I chose will probably mean it might never happen. Life goes on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neverfollow 599 Posted August 6, 2015 I did the same as you pininfarina, I ordered the 3, 6, and 9mm wheels. They won't be making their way onto my GT2, but good to have for future projects. They are gorgeous! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zadsniktaw 23 Posted August 6, 2015 Beautiful, how you fitting your light buckets..I'll make the rear ones and use Shoo Goo (have been successful with this in past). Undecided on fronts. GT3 option as discussed elsewhere in this thread or make my own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

salvine 125 Posted August 6, 2015 Tip for anyone else like me that wants to fill the screw holes in the wing. Fill hole with milliput first and then finish with Tamiya putty or similar. If you only use putty it will shrink and leave a dimple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1835 Posted August 6, 2015 These just got in! All the way from Germany! Ain't they pretty! Where can I buy a set of these wheels from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neverfollow 599 Posted August 6, 2015 Wing and mirrors are on Awaiting striping decals to go between the two colors and the Gulf livery decals. Still not 100% on these wheels and Tamiya's light blue wasn't light enough for the proper Gulf livery. But I guess this will make due for a runner. Hopefully the body set will become available. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crash Cramer 617 Posted August 7, 2015 That is some great looker, regardless of the blue tint. IDK if you have backed it already, but I wonder if WHITE under that blue will lighten it up some??? I am NOT a painter, so I don't know these things. Wheels are great staggered looking, but I am not certain about them, but then they would make some great runners now wouldn't they?? I am LOVING that stickerbombed Snap On Toolchest, I am almost afraid to ask where it came from as I am sure if it is licensed, it will be out of my price range. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neverfollow 599 Posted August 7, 2015 Thanks Crash! I think it's on the darker side because I put down the blue first, and then the orange. When I did the orange, I backed the blue with it. That's probably why. I got the box from my Snap On tool rep. $120 for both the top and bottom. I'll ask him today for the part numbers if you'd like. I use it for all my "go to" tools and it's the perfect size for RC related tools and spare parts. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crash Cramer 617 Posted August 7, 2015 Wow, it looks so much more than just a prop. I have to admit, my budget won't allow for that, but it sure looks great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
