jupitertwo 1484 Posted November 17, 2020 But well worth it! A fun build and a distinct, cool looking buggy. Are you going to paint it box art, or your own creation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrGoatboy 132 Posted November 17, 2020 Going to do something different I think using my 1:1 car as inspiration... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krustybus 214 Posted November 18, 2020 A few of these popping up now. Half wish I'd held out and bought a new one rather than a 'pre-loved' one lol That said, I still have a body to paint, just not sure what colour Enjoy the build, from messing about with mine they're nice to put together 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrGoatboy 132 Posted December 29, 2020 Finally got round to starting the build today. Must say I am impressed with the quality. Mostly aluminium parts with some high quality plastics thrown in. Diff and gearbox where already built but seem exceedingly sturdy. Hex head screws and bearings throughout. It's going together very nicely! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone got stock around the same time and I got mine from modelsport that day. Wheelspin sold out the same day. Modelsport a few days later... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blofeld 63 Posted January 1, 2021 Thanks. shame hopefully they will come back and I haven’t missed them altogether. It looks really nice. Watching this with interest. what sort of plans for the paint? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrGoatboy 132 Posted January 2, 2021 Modelsport are saying April for new stock. Think it's going to have a burnt orange theme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrGoatboy 132 Posted January 10, 2021 Finally got round to painting this. It was meant to be burnt orange but the paint I got wasn't what I was expecting it to be, kinda like a gold see through sort of thing. By the time I sprayed it I had ruined it. So went for a sort of rat look. Didn't work very well.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
