15November 3, 2024Rear suspension set up and removed from the chassis. I've got some detailing to do here too.

24November 4, 2024Mean beast!
25November 4, 2024How the wheels look with tires on them.
26November 4, 2024Interior. I was going to go leather but then I saw a picture online of 2 tone gray and liked that better.
27November 6, 2024The chassis in color. I ran out of tamiya clear so I picked up the Rustoleum brand clear acrylic lacquer and tried it on the tanks. Big mistake, of course it fucked up the paint. Ugh.
28November 8, 2024Detailed driveline.

Back to my roots with this build. I'm not going to do any modifications, just box stock. Heck, with a semi truck kit box stock is enough.
