At last all done decals are what i had left over from blue beetle sprayed by connor . The paint i have used this time round is Halfords vw tango i painted the detal round the windows and running boards in matt black with a paint brush very hard and wont do it again but i had ago. Gear box plates have been sprayed matt black . Only had three wheels and had to steel a wheel from my black foot and it took me a good while to find one to replace but CONNOR sold me a set of m/b wheels so big shout out and thanks my friend . I have sprayed clear lacquerd on the wheels and come up with a nice shine but it reacted with the matt black paint around the windows so i could not clear lacquer the shell :-( ... no driver in this one but hay cant have everything sport tune motor fitted shocks are from yeah racing . Hope you all like???

Screw the driver, I never put them in mine, ha! This looks great & should be a great runner, the sport tuned motor & Yeah racing shocks are an excellent choice upgrade from stock! Is this the last one or have you got another in the pipeline? You've still got your shiny new Scorcher to build yet!

I have 3 more Monster Beetles to come & then I'm giving it a rest for a while & moving on to other models! You would have though Tamiya would have released the French Blue again to coincide with the Scorcher release? What colour does it say to paint it in the manual???

I had one of those little Tango men from the advert that used to be on years ago. If I can find him you're welcome to have him to use as a driver figure.
