Skills my friend..
I drew the wing in AutoCAD Inventor and 3D printed it. Its 5 pieces (2 standards, 2 end plates, and the main foil). Snap together and attached to the body with screws. Could have matched the red a little better but I was too excited with the result so I rushed it a bit.
Amber headlights were an epiphany I had....
1. Masked off the headlight area with the included die cut masks from PF (great touch by the way, love that company)
2. after body was completed, sprayed Tamiya Clear Yellow Acrylic on the inside
3. Photocopied the included Headlight decals and cut out
4. Used https://xxxmain.com/collections/feat...n-picture-glue to attach the photocopied paper headlight on the inside of the body.
5. Main Sponsor and Tire Decals are from https://mciracing.ca/collections/tir...in-tire-decals
6. Honestly, the hardest part was finding the right wheels. I happened across these aluminum beaut's on Ebay from China, but had to paint them GunMetal using Model Master Metalizers so they'd look right..

.....Still searching for the right mirrors though. Its a complex shape to reverse engineer.

simple Well done!

I’m finishing my 911 RSR Outlaw VTA body, hopefully tonight. I too used the Tamiya clear yellow on headlights as well.

I used it oh my prior 911 RSR body as well.. over time it does chip off due to contact with cars etc.. I doubt you’ll have to worry as that beauty will probably be a concours / shelfer

I wish there was something I could mix into Tamiya acrylic paints to make it stick to lexan! They’re truly amazing to work with.

What class do you run that in? The tires / wheels aren't USGT legal and the body isn't VTA legal.

For our local club races at 702RC we relaxed the VTA rules to allow Japanese and European period correct bodies. So this car is run in VTA. ✌️

The company that used to be The Build has changed names. They are now Littohot.com. They have some interesting period-correct bodies that would fit the rules that Raman runs under.....including a 190mm Datsun 510. There is a really cool 935 that I might ask my local RD about allowing for local races.

And they have re-pops or some old favorite VTA bodies.
