jonboy1 2943 Posted March 2, 2020 looks really nice - but I think you've got your tyres/wheels on back to front! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WARPED 86 45 Posted March 2, 2020 I installed them purposely that way so when it drives it the tracks point the way it is going a little idiosyncrasy of mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might find the treads get full and won't self-clear in thick mud, though Stunning paint job BTW, good work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WARPED 86 45 Posted March 3, 2020 Thanks Mad Ax it was difficult to do with the chrome silver and the black so close to each other on the quarter windows and even the chrome silver for the trim I don’t have the steadiest hand it’s not quite perfect but not too bad and I haven’t finished Albert yet either that is going to be a bit of a challenge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 4008 Posted March 3, 2020 Excellent job, Did you fill the extra front body post hole? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WARPED 86 45 Posted March 3, 2020 I just did the kit provided cheat with the decal but used a 2000 grit foam sanding pad to blend the edges of the decal so it was not noticeable prior to painting the shell and also after all other decals were applied I clear coated over the whole body 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
