Hi all well I've decided to start this one, it's supposed to be a see through model but I didn't like the fact that the roof of the clear body had the Tamiya brand moulded into it which you could clearly see so I decided to spray the body a solid colour.

Certainly a different concept with the see-through body, but I can see why you`ve painted it and I like the choice of colour.

Cool Cool Cool

Hope to see more soon.

I'm really enjoying this kit, being Tamiya everything is a great fit, I'm loving the clever way they designed the rear and front windscreen, no gluing all push fit and I like that they supply masks for said windscreen anyway here's the next lot of progress.

Very nice Ken.
Lovely build.

One wonders though - why on EARTH would Tamiya supply a clear body, when massive amounts of the 'internals' are missing???
It seems daft!

You did the right thing by painting it.

Hi all It's finished I must say I enjoyed it.
Since I mentioned turning the 1/8 traction avant into a steampunk vehicle I think this looks like it would be fairly easy to turn into a steampunk vehicle so I may practice on this one first.
