RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Ok, here is my RC10L built from a NIB Fiberglass kit (Wanted Fiberglass to match my RC12L), The Sees BBS wheels were added because i think they look great on a BoxArt 10L, I still have to get a set of foam donuts for the front and turn them down.

Thanks to AL for the Nissan GTP ZX body, The paint turned out ok for being my first ever attempt at a box art of any kind (excluding solid color cars), After letting the last coat of paint dry i picked up the body for a test fit on the chassis and noticed a crack on the front right wheel arch , Not sure how it got there but i think i will just have to live with it lol. The paint is actually metal flake Pectra paint, Pics make the paint look a little light, My lighting sucks, Or its my camera skills

The decals are all Vinyl cut be me on the trusty old Graphtec Cutter , I know im missing a few decals and some are not exactly what is used on the car but they can be swapped out in the future with correct designs. The decals are actually just a test to see how small i can cut decals and still be able to apply them.

Comments are welcome

Hmmmmm, that's sharp.

Hmmmmm, that looks awesome to me. I wish I could paint that good. I honestly couldn't see a crack in your pictures so maybe just a little reinforcement on the backside. That's a great 1st try I'm really impressed.

Makes me want one!

man that looks good, just needs some rubber now

Thanks guys, Im debating cutting out the vents like the boxart, Just dont have the nerve yet

Where do you get foams for the rims ?

I had the rear tires and plan on getting a complete set (I have another set of sees) and the fronts for this car from Windtunnel Racing.

I have a tire lathe, The tires (foams) Are not ready like rubber tires, They have to be turned down, The rears on my car a re turned low profile.

Looks nice, but you really need to add a driver for that added bit of realism.

Very nice, I have that body to do for my 12L I should get you to paint it up. Very Nice job.

Man that is perfect!

Man that is really sweet reminds me of the McAllister ads with the Tecna's. Love the Fox suspension decals.

Very nice William. That will make an excellent car for display.

Thanks guys, THe small decals were a pin in the ____. lol, That is about the limit to how small i can cut a logo

William, I think spraying Pactra window tinting on the inside so you can't see through the body might help to give it a more massive completed look. Just my .02 and remember I already commented on how much I like your paint job so just a thought.
