This has just arrived and is my first Tamiya r/c truck. I have the limited blue version and the pre painted parts look great. Just put a couple of pics on for now but will add some more once i've had a good look through the huge amount of parts in the box.

This will be a straight out of the box build but I will also be adding the multifunction unit for sound and lights together with a trailer and lights, uprated motor,remote uncoupling unit and alloy wheels.

Well I plucked up the courage and made a start and managed to get the main chassis together and a couple of servos fitted for steering and gearchanges, thanks for looking.

Just been looking at the video of these trucks on wonderland models and I must say these really look great when running.

Hope your build goes well and look forward to your next update as its not often you see these truck kits being built.
Happy Modelling

Thanks for looking in guys,
Nem the truck I have is the limited edition Blue which comes with all the blue bodywork beautifully pre-painted. The main frame rails are pre painted black but the rest of the black plastic comes with a shiny unpainted finish which could be painted but I was happy with how it looked so left it BigGrin . There is one sprue that requires painting and that is for the cab interior but unsure of what I will be able to use once the speaker and multifunction unit are fitted.
