AshRC 213 Posted May 3, 2020 Always wanted a Blackfoot when I was young, so was pretty excited when I got my hands on this. The body looks sound but is covered in multiple coats of paint. Lots of missing or broken parts, obviously no tyres ... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AshRC 213 Posted May 3, 2020 The body took a lot of work. The top paint came off ok, but the coat underneath was immune to oven cleaner so needed sanding down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KEV THE REV 2319 Posted May 3, 2020 Nice one Ash - box art ? . The wheels look good in silver . The front grille and Ford tailgate could be a headache if you haven't got them :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AshRC 213 Posted May 3, 2020 I’ve got both. The tailgate is ok but the grill needs work. I’ve got some more photos ... having technical difficulties uploading them though 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AshRC 213 Posted May 3, 2020 Yeah, pretty much box art. I went for TS-40 metallic black which is gorgeous, more like a really dark grey than black. Silver wheels and silver roll bar too, hopefully to make it look less toy-ish. Was never a fan of coloured wheels ... I have some MCI decals on the way, with silver instead of white. Looking forward to seeing them 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
