Good question. I started with PS-37 Translucent Red followed by PS-15 Metallic Red and finally backed by by PS-5 Black. I used the entire can each of the PS-37 and PS-15 as I wanted it to be relatively dark, but it still didn't turn out too dark. 

Decals were just what I had laying around. The main Falken decals on the doors (and hood and roof, which you can't see) are from a "Need For Speed Drift Team" set I found on eBay years ago, but I don't see them anymore. (I painted this shell back in 2016 but only just now got around to finishing it!) 

The body kit is from KillerBody for their own Lancer, they didn't fit perfectly but well enough.

I've not quite finished my Novafox but it's very close, so much so that I've had it out for a good spin about and started scratching it, etc.  So I thought I better takes some pics of it before all the tyre writing comes off. 

It's got the following bits; UGT Tuned Motor, Tamiya TEU-302BK ESC, (with black motor cables, spade terminal connectors, XT60 battery connector), Savox SC-1257TG (Black Edition),  Tamiya 17T Steel Pinion, Carbon Fibre rear upright, Parma front bumper, CRP front brace, Aluminium and Titanium Screws throughout, Lunsford Ti screws for the shock mounting and Lunsford steering turnbuckles, Tamiya Low Friction Balls + Connectors, heatshrink tightened servo saver, white "Wild One" wheels, Stainless Steel body clips, Tamiya gold wheel nuts and ball bearings.

I'd still like to add some Titanium hinge pins, Aluminium rear wheel adaptors and front LED headlights, but otherwise it's done.  It's fairly lightweight, responsive and being high geared, rather quick!

They’re by MST. I picked them up a long time ago from my LHS, if you go to their website you can see all their options there

Is the tt01 the same wheelbase as a tt02?

I'm really not sure. I've never had a TT01. Maybe someone who has both could chime in?

Yep, same standard TC wheelbase. I built my TT01 Swb to fit under the Brat body. The 02 is wearing a WRX body from a TL01 kit, so all interchangeable

Sorry if I’m suffering from over posting but I just love this car. It’s my era and brings back all sorts of happy memories + it’s a very well produced body. I prefer the BA livery to the box art and it’s a shame cigarette manufacturers are so un  pc as the Rothmans one would be even better. Anyway here is the finished article 45CA0A14-0B45-4DE6-BF77-38BEB8908BF7.jpeg.cf53bc545c3ad66d28bb9fd1ffe32ed0.jpeg255840C8-126D-45BE-BB0E-91F05B67407A.jpeg.c0640b621ffce7b9a98faabee01c7a54.jpeg0502D4AC-8229-4BB7-920D-CFE5A9634B94.jpeg.1f8a33541fea73f22cfb0b004b2fab34.jpeg

I really like the look of your RS2000, I have heard that the other Details are a bit tricky to get right.
