To do the shading and to get the right effect, it pretty much has to be done with an airbrush. Very difficult to get any detail with a can.

Blacktiger, they have all steered you right. Although I got a couple RC10 bodies and other goodies from Philshobbyshop on ebay, since he sells them below retail a little cheaper then Tower at the time, I would check to see if that is still the case though.

Thanks for the tip Jim, I don't need one just yet. But I have considered doing a retro rc10 build here soon.

You need to upload the pics to an image hosting site like photobucket and then link from there.

Open two windows, one here and one with your photobucket. Move the mouse over your image on PB, you will see a dropdown menu. Click the last option(IMG code) and it will change to copied. Now come over here to your message, click the right mouse button and select copy, your image will now be in your post.
