Default Your first paintjob?

Just wondering if anyone has any pictures of the very first body they've painted. If so, I would definitely like to see them

Looks good! What about your first paintjob with an airbrush?

My first paintjob is long since gone - red stripe on black body for my Tamiya Wild One in 1986. My first airbrush body came 23 years later

First airbrush job was just like this one...basic area fill job. I didn't start getting into fades and shades until about 20-30 bodies later.

My first body I ever painted was just after christmas 1987. I got a bolink eliminator 10 and did a 2 tone black and white...back half was black up to the back window and did a diagonal down the sides. I think I went over the edge on the outside with red tape because it bled. We did my fathers kyosho big brute in a solid see through blue.

Heres my first body since coming back to r/c after 8 years away from it.....tried alot of new stuff since its for a basher.
