kneesliding 26 Posted July 9, 2020 Well, I cant seem to get enough of these DF-03.... Picked up a White version cheap and punked it ;-) Forgot to take few shots on the way... but I am thinking of either a new Red Shell, or swapping it out for a shell from the Avante MK2 in Red... Will see.... 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Superluminal 3750 Posted July 10, 2020 That looks spot on. I think the blue suspension arms are just the right amount of blue. Obviously it would be far faster, more powerful and grippier if the shock towers were the anodised blue versions but then it wouldnt look as nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Room335 738 Posted July 10, 2020 Looks great. But those tires right on the edge of the railing made me a little nervous! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My luck is so typically bad with stuff like that that I would never risk it. After setting it up and taking the photos there would be a 100% chance of me reachibg over to pick it up only to accidently punch it off the balcony. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadMeat666 1675 Posted July 12, 2020 Any particular reason you installed an aluminum front shock tower but left the rear one stock plastic? That detail immediately jumped out at me as soon as I saw the first picture. Nice build overall, makes me wonder if it would look nice to have the white edition stickers on a standard black dark impact with blue bits... hmm... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Jon 684 Posted July 13, 2020 Lovely car. The "Ice Queen" treatment really suits the DF03. I'm still kicking myself for not picking one up, and I'll grab one as soon as one pops up. I still haven't driven a DF03, either, so a regular one for a driver is on the list, too. One thing I like about Tamiya is that if a car isn't what you want for a driver, they're still so good looking that you don't feel cheated. If you put static model type effort into the bodies, they're still a decent value as displays, especially the TT and GT kits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No Slack 454 Posted July 17, 2020 The blue/white combination works better in my opinion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superluminal 3750 Posted July 17, 2020 Agreed - but on the other hand that is a lovely red. What colour is it and what is it backed with. Got a great depth to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRx718 4470 Posted July 20, 2020 Looks ace. Your front shock tower bugs me because it's not symmetrical though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
