went retro with the muscle car look

i got tired of the typical mad force offerings from kyosho so when the unpainted bodies came out it was tops on the list :-D

i already had a few sets of gunmetal wheels and parts so i went with a complimentary color selection and decided the classis muscle car look would be a good effort atleast. i used tamiya camel yellow and metallic black. they were both easy to use and came out very well. the pactra indy silver for highlight parts as a bit trickier to work with but pactra has some very cool colors 8) i still have to go in and darken the grill.... give it some shadow/weathering.

anyway, here are the pictures.

i just aquired a set of silver rims in the same style so when i can find another unpainted body, i've already got plans for a classic pickup two tone paint job waiting to replace this one.

I agree. Im not liking the silver on it. If that was like black, or not even on there that would be awsome. The silver is to contrast..

i was going to go over the silver parts with some darker color s i described regarding the grille. i should have just painted it black.... wiat to you see the classis scheme! it will have some very nice features :lol: the wheels for that are the same style only silver.

nice work there, i personally would have used a darker silver on the accents like the front and bed scoop. it would have blended in with the camel yellow and the black hood a little better...


what you got planned for the chassis?
