      "If in doubt, flat out". Centurion3RTR

      Hi all, the only green and brown in this build is the scenery. Got to be a good lad because it's not armour so got to keep it clean (what have i let myself in for). Right, the subject. Colin McRae was a legend and i thought it was time i did a little tribute to this great man, plus it was time i did a model that had some colour on it other than "green and brown". The model, well what can i say it's Tamiya so it'll build into a nice model. A mate of mine is into modified cars and had a car in the some colour as the 1998 Subaru, he's just given me some Blue Mica so i havn't got that to worry about.


      Have fun, John

      Brilliant man and a sad loss...

      I have this same kit, so will be interested to see what magic you do with it (probably with the result that I'll sell mine in frustration lol)

      A rally car can always be hidden under a degree of mud so you still get the chance to do some mat brown!!

      Should be an enjoyable kit though, Tamiya cars always make into a lovely model.

      At the mo i'm just cleaning the mold lines up on the bumpers, taken me all of five minutes. Richard mate, if i make a really big mistake it'll be time to find some Network Q decals and have lots on mud lol. But as you say they are a nice kit and will build straight from the box, i've just got to refrain from putting guns on it.

      Have fun, John

      Morning all, after playing about with a RC King Tiger (thanks again Ian) i forgot i have this on the bench. The rollcage is all together and ready for paint, right the paint, the stuff i got from a friend is 2K and a little on the thick side. If i was to use thin it down for the airbrush the solvent would kill the plastic, Vauxhall Arden Blue looks just about right so got a can of that. If you are out & about and see some Hycote Plastic Primer, grab it. I've got some for my bumper (real car lol) and thought i use a little on this build. It goe's on great and keeps all the detail.

      Have fun, John
