Just needs an equally impressive body to go with it now. Hurry up and get it painted. :)
Thanks! Feel free to use them on your site!

I am cutting it out tonight, will be painted this week with a little luck - the motivation is there!

Cut the shell out last night & mounted it, its all ready for paint now :D

For some reason i think it looks cool clear as it allows you to see the parts underneath that would be otherwise hidden from view. Still gonna paint it though :D

The truck looks great. Makes kinda wish not letting my new built XXT MF edition go. I got a good DS out of the deal but that was the closest I have come to a brand new old rc. Again great truck.

Cheers for the comments. Is it the MF1 that had the red wheels etc, or the MF2? I am thinking that might be what I go for after my G+ build (thinking ahead a little!)

OK, so I threw on some paint tonight, not as much as I had planned because a mate came round and we started on a few beers (see first photo), but so far so good, although I am now thinking the red is too bright, and also the kit stickers are not the same as the box art, which leaves me a little stuck!

Haha, 3 different beers, and 2 different kinds of potato "like" chips.
Don't spill on the body or touch it with greasy fingers. :)

Couple more colours tonite, now ready for window tinting and the rear to be painted. I've fitted it on the truck already and it looks great, but I am gonna save the 'reveal' until its fully complete. In the mean time, here's where its at:

Hehee, cheers! yeah, that was achieved by lightly spraying black behind the candy blue, then all backed with white. From the box photo it looks like there is a dark blue fade, hence why I did it!

Its all going really well so far!
