I dunno, maybe a cousin or something like that. :lol: Actually, you already have too much invested in the pile to let it be. Breathe new life into it and get it ru...

Re: Kyosho Assault Box Art Restoration

The body on the "mint" car wasnt mint. Bad tape lines, some cracks, and poorly cut out. I pin striped the white, fixed the cracks, dremeled all the edges. Turned out real decent. I have a new body i will paint w/new decals, i will probably put on the mint car if it turns out good, so this ...

Re: Kyosho Assault Box Art Restoration

Little bummed, u can see yellow behind the "313" . The white stripes are painted. Everything is on the inside of the body. Totally smooth outside. I can always buy another sheet and put new "313" over those on the outside but that does defeat the point :( Resized_20190310_133818_...
