Hotshot/impact

Recommended Posts

Hey guys just wondering on opinions of a dark impact as a hotshot?? Always wanted to build an impact but styled with hotshot decals and red body of course, is this a mistake or do you think it could work? Any help/ advise appreciated, cheers

I've seen it done, and it looked very good. I kept the photo, but don't know if I can find it. I'll have a look and post it if successful.

Do it anyway. It will be fun. I have become a big fan of retro styling shells and chopping and changing decals. Take photos so we can see it!

Advice? MCI Decals do great repro decals so you can cut them to suit without worrying about ruining the originals. They also do a custom service so if you need a decal changing to suit the Impact and can draw it accurately to scale in terms of shape (even pencil scanned to PDF) Nathan can make that for you. We worked for a while getting the Grasshopper2 Junior Dress up Decals I found adapted to 1/10 scale but they came out great in the end.

I like doing non box art. I have a white impact with a twist on paint. Go for the hotshot look, it will look great
