More airbrushing accomplished this weekend! This is one of the awesome new one-piece McAllister VTA CUDA bodies. It is painted with Faskolor Pearl Blue,Chrome and Black. Numbers were done by hand with liquid mask. Inside it looks just metallic blue, but outside...wow! Nice job McAllister! I look forward to running this one. RC Race car bodies

Here it is mounted and ready to run.

Hi, I just got into VTA racing with a second hand TC4 roller with the help of my friend Helloscott on here. I'll attach the picture of my first body I painted once I get enough posts to be able to attach pictures.

Looking forward to seeing your car. I don't know the minimum posts required before you can post photos. I looked in the FAQ's and didn't see an answer there either. :/

Back on page 113 I had seen a Camaro (Pegasus, I believe) painted in the Owens Corning scheme. I figured I'd give it a try on the McAllister body. All is paint except the grille/headlight/tail light decals.

This was my second VTA shell when I started. Still like the colors. It mixed in some neon for easy seeing, but still looked pretty period correct I thought. Those Camaro bodies are rare now! Hope HPI gets their molds figured out. I heard that was the production hang up on the 68 Camaro body. The other HPI VTA bodies are starting to show up again at our local Hobbytown.

AMain Hobbies is starting to get some HPI shells also - just got the 69 Camaro from them last week

Have two McAllister bodies on the way. Hopefully they hold up better than the Protoform Mustang. The bumper split in record time...

I've had great luck with the McAllister Trans Am. Its rounded in the front enough that it seems to avoid damage better than all the other bodies I've used.

I haven't finished reading the whole thread but does this paint job conform to the spirit of VTA? It's all done with rrattle cans & note the grey hound on th rear quarter panel. The design just came outta my head (that is in itself is dangerous).

In my opinion, 95% yes. The white/orange fade is probably not period correct. A strong orange stripe might have been. You've got some local sponsors and numbers on it. I could picture it on the track!

Here is what's left of mine after three practices. Period correct, no. I just wanted to do a design that I liked and use a paint scheme that I could see easily from the stand. I was trying to utilize the Gulf paint scheme colors that I've always loved.

Looks pretty period correct to me! A little Naptha (lighter fluid) will clean it up and get rid of the black marks.

My latest paint.
