I like how you used the red white and blue, but red flames and the chrome as the white, that's a nice job!

Thanks!
Been I while since I have been on the R/C scene. Ran one about 20 years ago. Then changed over to 1/24 scale drag and now I am back with a brand new TC4. WOOT!
I use slightly different paints than everyone else does. I use regular automotive Basecoat/clear. Without the clear. Better variety of colors.
Had to use spastik however for a good chrome though.

I am used to spraying on the outside of things. Took a little getting used to doing things in reverse.... My next one will be better. I am working on a Airforce nascar body. Will post when I finish it.

Jim-
how is it that you can still make the teardrop/ splash design look so good ? Man, I just can't seem to get anything going with that lately.. stand up work as usual !
Charlie-
yeah, slots are a blast ! lol.. so far so good, haven't "buried the hatchet" in one yet... by the way, have you painted any of the little " HO " scale lexan slot car bodies? Ira Dahm sent me a few last year, man are they tedious !
Nice work on that E-hobbies job... the E is outstanding !
