really nothin special here, stuff all detailing. it's just finished is all! there's plenty of room for future decals, i just wanted it to be useable soon. i bought it as an unpainted kit and the quality of these kyosho bodies is very nice indeed. let's hope they're stronger than those i waver bodies i've been breaking :smile:

that totally doesn't look like one of your cars.
not without a huge gouge taken out of the front bumper and some painfully deep scratches on the roof lol

nice work mr fluro,..... :-)

that's the thing with shells specific to racing, you wanna detail 'em but you don't wanna put too much work into 'em. I mean, shit man, if they're gonna be busted up after a days solid track work why spend too much time pimpin it in the first place.

I tell ya way, 'cause it's all part of the trade punk! :cool:

it's all true, i don't wanna get too caught up in detail on these bigger ones.
talking specifically about track bodies, all it needs to be (for me) is highly visible. so all it needs is the flouro paint. but i can't just run a plain ol nothing body, and the more i can stay away from traditional car stuff the better!
'sfunny, the guy who sold me this body (nib, unpainted kyosho) was telling me how sought after they were and would send me links to the japanese touring car sites for ideas on a proper sponsor logo setup and paint scheme! :-D he's gonna crap his pants when he sees it! :-(

those side bits under the moon stickers are just too blank though, i'm yet to find something i like.
