nice!! I need the chrome pieces as well.

Bought a Tamiya Mountaineer

I mixed the blackfoot wiith the sand scorcher to have a monster beetle and a ranger repro





And I worked on my lunchy runner to have straight front wheeles and put the body and chromes in caustic soda for the night

The lunch should run tomorrow with vintage balloon slicks.

ASSEMBLED / test tried my new Turnigy i6 radio on my Kyosho F40, at first it was 'meh' but then I found I was only sending a 40% at max Throttle, set it back to a 100% and (LOTS OF SWEARING EXPEDITIVES OMITTED) the F40 is a freaking Bullet! Yes, I commented it's top speed was 25 Km/H, now it could work like 40 Km/H it was like literally seeing Knight Rider with KITT in Super pursuit mode. I mean, seriously, I'm storing it as 'F40' but limited to a 70% of throttle range, because I'm afraid for it's safety... (Or I can control the Throttle, I'm not a 5 YO.)

Finally my lunchbox runner can run. With a rubber to keep the stick

Today is cold but sunny. It's time to put a coat of primer on the ford body.

Won't the cold effect the painting

Not especially on the primer. But for the blue airbrushed, I will need to work with a warmer atmospher. (Maybe when misses will not be at home).
