jamesp2812 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Yeah I think tamiya should take note lol! But then changing stuff is half the fun. Sent from my LLD-L31 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Exactly, nothing like making a truck your own, also I sold the stock ones for £20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also finished painting the light lenses, but I need to paint the inside of the light buckets with chrome paint before I can mount them up... which I haven’t got....

jamesp2812 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 What paint did you use for light lenses? Sent from my LLD-L31 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 I only had to paint the orange part and I used Tamiya X-26 clear orange, the hardest bit was glueing the orange and clear lenses into the red part without making a complete mess with the glue...

.AJ. Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 And I had a pair of Hercules Hobby driveshafts turn up from RC Mart, they look the nuts compared to the stock dog bones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesp2812 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I like the 2 tone idea with black n red.Sent from my LLD-L31 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 The 2 tone has a nice flow to it, plus it saves a bit of masking later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Two tone will look more authentic, Only time you really see tippers with colour coded front bumpers is at truck shows/meets, sating black or dark grey will look spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Red and black it is, shame I won’t be able to paint it for a few weeks, got the mother staying for a week and then im on holiday for 2 weeks... Soooo I’ll make a start on the paint sometime in the middle of August lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Popped home for lunch and had these waiting for me.... The Acuator kit was marked as $10 so it missed customs and I saved a whooping £135 over the UK price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
