It's not my brand of beer, but it makes a pretty paintjob with those rims. Nice Job! :mrgreen:

Removing paint with fuel on an already painted body, you like to live dangerously but we all knew that anyway. :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:
Really nice job Mark.

Thank you all very much but I must pass most of the compliments on to Shodog who owned this model before me as it was his design, all I've done is bring it back up to A1 condition.

The design of the body was one of the main reasons I bought this model, however I knew I had to do something to tidy it up, going to work on it with the fuel was the last resort before commissioning a newly painted shell so it was worth the risk to save it and luckily for me it worked out all OK :D

You did a nice job of tidying up that body. to do it over again, I would have put tape under the body to protect it in all the places it rubs. Those wheels look nice. are they ones that I did or did you paint the centers?
