What paint did you use on yours ? Not even decided on a chassis yet, so plenty of cutting and trimming to do here. what driver you putting in there ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wetman 417 Posted July 3, 2020 I used Hycote car acrylic car paint from the local auto discount place usually around £5 a tin ending where you go for it. The body took one tin of primer and two tins of colour then just the clear laquer to suit. Driver figure is Tamiya`s 54416, when he decides to be in stock. Havent got a clue what colour I`m doing him yet. I was going to just use a plain 6 or 7" action figure but can i chuff find one that isnt Spiderman or Batman or or some sort of 3 headed space pirate stoner Thats a cracking looking Defender in the background mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was my 1st one in 30 odd years lol. still tinkering with it. just had some cheap wheels and tyres from china delivered so just seeing how they look. Also almost completed the VW karmann Ghia.

TurnipJF 9113 Posted July 3, 2020 The letter at the end typically indicates spec level or intended use. RA for rally, S for sport, RRR for really really racy, etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That being said, it's a great chassis, just not very well suited to rally spec cars because of this difference. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
