  1. Haven't posted in a while, but have to warn everyone: i just fell for a scam, beware. 

    I've ordered an expensive dress for my wife, but was gobsmacked to discover this after unpacking.

    I'd never thought i'd fall for a scam like this, i don't even know how they got me. Can't send it back either, i've already opened the box and accidentally painted a few parts. 

    Let that be a lesson to all of you, learn from my mistake.

      My lad has the pre painted pearl blue version of that, its a lovely bit of kit.

      i really enjoyed building the trucks i/we have had over the years.

       

      looking forward to seeing it complete and good to see you back. :cheers:

      @Gaz!

      I was going for the prepainted pearl green one, but couldn't get it anywhere, no stock to be had - same for the pearl blue prepainted. 

       

      So in the end, it's just the "normal" kit with bearing set, GT Power 60A Sound/Vibration and Carson Poison 80t motor - nothing particularly special, but first truck and first Tamiya, didn't want to go completely ham. In terms of colour, it's going to be this:

      called "Blue Grape" by Kustom Canz - basically an automotive pearl blue. Depending on how it comes out, i got 2k clear here too lol.

       

      Never really painted in this scope before, but so far, so good (ignore wires, was just connecting the tail lights to see if i kinked a wire):

      Though did go bit light on the silver coat there, should've done one extra. No orange peel etc though, which i'm well chuffed about. 

       

      Also bought a new radio just for this thing lol.
