@@manuferguson8197 thanks Manu, don’t think I will ever do a better one.

@@chrisbartlett1949 thanks Chris. Yeah it’s really something!

@@CARMELOGUARRASI thank you! 👍

@@Hi_Doctor_Nick thanks. I bought everything pretty much all at once, was my first truck kit and knew nothing about them really. I saw the tanker come up for sale and bought that, then the truck and all the hop up parts so didn’t really know there were wireless options available from other manufacturers. It would be nice to be wireless but to be honest it doesn’t worry me. I guess with a wireless system you’d need to hide an extra battery somewhere underneath or inside the tank.

Thankyou. The stickers came with the kit, it is a discontinued Tamiya kit. There are some reproduction sets for sale on eBay but they are a different design.

@@jason.bochniak I only like this sticker. Thank you.

@@florinvatafu I’m sorry, I don’t know where you could find a set.

@@jason.bochniak Just tell me how wide the sticker is so I'll try to get someone to print it for me.Respect from me to you.

@ send me an email: jason.bochniak@hotmail.com and I will send you some photos and measurements

@@johnrapp9794 sounds great, I bet that looks fantastic!

@@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483 thanks Robert. How are you finding the build? It’s very different to the buggies etc. what’s the Beier unit like?

It’s a great unit, very small and easy to mount and connect.

@@rickstanfield1966 Thanks Rick, yeah I’ve built this at least 3 times with all the mistakes lol!

Hey man, cheers! Have you subscribed? They should be there mate, there’s 5 parts in total and I’ve just uploaded the Shell fuel tanker build video which makes it 6. Let me know if you can’t find them mate. Thanks for watching!!!

Here you go mate, Part 1… ua-cam.com/video/zZuTRerCVxk/v-deo.htmlsi=j6cdHOxsWhZa-TLd

@@aa-xh6em thank you. Yes very expensive project, I wasn’t expecting it to cost so much and spend so much time on it.

Next time have a 400 ml can filled up with paint of choice at a paint shop, In the Netherlands they are around 20 bucks. Two colors equals 40… I’m sure one can is more than enough to paint the body, these automotive paints have much better coverage than the very translucent Tamiya paints.

@ thanks for the tip, that’s an excellent idea. I didn’t know that type of paint would work with plastics.

Great idea!

@@JosephDalton-d3w hi Joseph. Not sure what you mean? There’s only one cable going from the MFC in the truck to the trailer and it operates the lights. Thanks for watching!

@@vintageschumacher thankyou. Glad you liked it. I’m glad it’s finally finished!

@@buildrestorecustomise2060 thanks! It was definitely something different to build. Mate, what’s your name please?

My name is David 👍

@ thanks David!

@@jason.bochniak you’re welcome and thank you for sharing these builds with us! They truly are next level! Have you ever considered doing a video on the FJ40 that I’ve spotted in a few videos? Really into my full size cars as well, especially Japanese ones so I would love to see more about it, especially because to me it looks like it’s been fully restored 👍👍

@@buildrestorecustomise2060 Thanks David, that means a lot! I only do this for the fun of sharing and hopefully helping others not make the mistakes I make! There’s no money earnt from it at all. I’ve been working on the FJ40 in the background for some time, that’s why the RC videos have been slow to come. I’ve learnt a lot recently getting back into full sized mechanical repairs and honestly did think about doing some videos, but I am not a mechanic. I guess changing radiators, clutch master & slave cylinders, bleeding brakes and all sorts of other stuff could have been good to video. Are you in Australia?

@@TamiyaTalkRC thanks mate. You’ve got a keen eye spotting the FJ!

@@68burnout cheers Ruud, it’s gorgeous 😍

@@GARYU-S44 Thankyou Gary, your support is appreciated!

@ 😁👌

@@GARYU-S44 I have subscribed to you too!

@@paulriddiford Thanks Paul! 😚

@@EMPTYPOCKETSRC thanks! I saw you build yours and had to have one too!

@@RCRetro Thanks Ari, It’s really detailed with the stainless tank, chrome and silver parts and the precision of the metal parts fitting is really impressive. Even the wheel chocks are made of rubber! I watched @emptypocketsrc build one which made me decide to get one with the Grand Hauler. The guy in California has another one for sale, it’s another Shell Tanker but a different livery design. Very cool and I haven’t seen many others come up.

@@NS-tv7wi thanks Nick, a lot of work and no painting lol!

Sounds like my kind of build. Still dreading the body lol.

@ It was really fiddly mate, the legs were a complete nightmare. You’ll be fine with the BBX body!

I hope so 🤞

@@AddamsPlayground cheers! I took my time with it, there’s no where to hide, even when filming lol. Built most of it on a tool cabinet with wheels so I could spin it round to work on it without handling too much.

@@karenmurray3098 thanks Karen, yeah it’s great peeling that film off!

@@danrees5520 thanks Dan. It’s really up to you. After the issue I had, which was probably down to me, I didn’t want to risk it. Way too many hours went into masking and pairing a second time and I couldn’t see how a clear coat would improve the finish. I didn’t use clear on the metallic orange and gun metal one I did after this and that came out even better. Not sure if you’ve seen that video. I’ve also done a couple of vintage Rangers, and the first one I did flat blue and clear coated it and the same thing happened. Both of those ended up with no clear coats. I’ve done videos for those too if you’re interested. I’m no pro mate, just learning as I go.

@@R0LLM0P Thanks again, was a lot of work. What’s your name mate? I’m guessing from your handle you might be an Essex boy?

@@alantaylor353 Thanks Alan!

@jason.bochniak You're most welcome mate.!! 👍 👍 👍

@@R0LLM0P Thanks again. It takes a lot of time and patience, to be honest, I don’t really enjoy the sanding and the painting either but I do like the result when it goes well. There’s a lot of mistakes and re-dos along the way!

Cheers!

@@jason.bochniak do you paint Sand Scorcher bodies?

@@R0LLM0P I’ve done a couple mate, have you seen my videos on them?

@@jason.bochniak i'll have a look

@@NS-tv7wi thanks Nick!

@@griffonwings5177 Thanks mate, yeah I don’t understand the lights either. They supply clear lenses but they don’t fit over the plastic parts. I did think about cutting them off but went the pain in the neck route of painting. How did yours go?

@@PaulBewley-w1k Hey Paul, thanks and what an awesome kit to start with! We are similar age. Yes, spot on regarding the decals. I spray the back of the decal too and I use the heat gun mostly when you need to gently stretch the decal around corners. Just be careful not to heat too much as it will damage the colouring and the adhesive will start spreading out past the cut edge. Just use minimum heat. The other method lots of others use is to cut the decal out, peel a small amount of the backing back, just enough to hold in place and fold the backing paper at that point. Then stick the decal in place with the exposed sticky part, peel the rest of the backing paper off then gently stick it down as you peel. I’ve never done it this way as you only get one chance. Soapy method allows for repositioning but only before you apply any heat. Hope that helps.

@@jason.bochniak Terrific thank you! Not sure why I didn't get into kit building earlier - absolutely loving it so far. A friend advised me to cut the body, paint and do decals first, as when the kit is finally built I'll be excited to drive the car so want to avoid rushing through the cutting, painting and adding decals. But thanks again - that's some great advice 🙂

@ it’s an awesome kit to build, nothing like Tamiya have done before. Painting first is a nice idea but the only issue is that you can’t pre fit it. This kit requires lots of small holes to drill. I cut, drilled, sanded and made sure it all fit perfectly before painting and applying decals. Making adjustments after could mess up your decals and painting. I would recommend painting the driver first though so you can install in the chassis. Good luck with it!

@@jason.bochniak Thank you again! At this point I have only cut out the panels and lightly sanded. I'll follow your advice and build the chassis next, and then mark and drill holes (making sure the drill holes all line up). And then paint and add decals last. Sorry for the 20 questions too - and this might seem obvious, but I'm assuming you always drill from the top side down, and then gently sand back any burr left underneath?

@ no worries. I think there’s a tiny dimple in the plastic for you to drill from the outside. If you drill in the middle with the right sized drill you should be fine. I have a set of very small Tamiya files, quite cheap really useful. You get round, flat and curved files. Just be careful not to scratch up the polycarbonate on the inside.

@@NS-tv7wi sure was!

Cheers! One of my best efforts!

Thanks Alan, that’s great to know. I’m a novice too, self taught and learning on every one. I’m just about to do a nice simple Rough Rider body, one colour only. Maybe I should do a video. It’s for the one I smashed up at Knox 3.0 recently.

@@broadband1820 Thanks mate, congratulations! Awesome kit to build, probably one of the trickiest to paint though with all the masking. I’ve never used an airbrush, rattle cans where ever possible then brushes for detail. If you take a look at my other Sand Scorcher paint video, which was done after this, I included the spraying in the video. Hope that helps and good luck with it!

@jason.bochniak Thanks for your help.

@ Any time Alan. Thanks for watching!

PS. Any idea why the lacquer effected the first paint job? It's good to know for future reference.

@@broadband1820 I’m certain it’s because I sprayed a heavy wet coat on which just reactivated the coats underneath. It’s best to do lots of light dry coats with time in-between to dry then one final wet coat to get the gloss.

Hi Karen, yes please, that would be great! You can email to me at: jason.bochniak@hotmail.com when you get a chance. Thank you!

@@russmilton4491 thanks Russ. The old decals are hard to find and they aren’t very sticky either. Mine are lifting and have creases here and there where they don’t stick down. They are super thin and not really flexible. RCdecals2 from the U.K. on eBay sell some decent reproduction versions if that helps. Paint sounds cool though. Good luck with it!

@@jason.bochniak Thanks for the heads up. I've used them before but couldn't find a Ranger set previously, They DO list it on their website & as I'm in the UK anyway, that's a win all round. Cheers mate & keep up the great Tamiya vids.

@@russmilton4491 no worries Russ, if I remember, he lists just one design but as you’ll know the MK1 & MK2 Ranger decals differ due to the front wheel arch dimensions being different so worth emailing him first. MCI in Canada list both options but I don’t think they are as good quality. I haven’t done any new builds recently, been to the vintage bash in Melbourne and bought an old 1/1 scale car which was been taking up my spare time. I do have a backlog of builds to do so will get on with them soon. Thanks again for the support!

@@NS-tv7wi cheers Nick!

@@NS-tv7wi Thanks Nick, yeah it’s lovely. Love, love, love the Rangers!

@@NS-tv7wi Hey Nick, thanks mate! Have a look at my Sand Scorcher paint videos, They came out really nice!

Will do 👍. By the way did you use the same knife for cutting out the transfers as you used for scoring the body ? If not what did you use to score the body

@ Hi Nick, yes same knife. It’s a standard hobby knife with the disposable scalpel blades. I always put a new blade in.

You are a Star. Cheers Jase

@@NS-tv7wi no worries mate, happy to help!

@@NS-tv7wi Hi thanks for watching. I’m no expert but happy to help. Yes it all fits in there but the wires need to be super neat to fit. It was the most fiddly one I’ve done. Motor choice depends on lots of factors but simply the lower the turns, the faster the motor but with that there is less torque, so i believe lower turn faster motors are best suited for on road, drift cars etc. You can then play with the pinion gear to get the right ratio for your application, as per the charts supplied with the motor etc. I use a Noble NB4 transmitter & Flysky FGR4S V2 Receiver. The new NB4+ or Noble pro are other options. They can come with 2 receivers, the small one with no antenna and the larger one with an antenna. I use the larger ones in my SRBs. You can have 20 models stored. I still struggle with it as I grew up with stick transmitters. My vintage RC’s use the old school radio gear. Hope that helps and hope you are subscribed, cheers!

@ . Thankyou so much, really appreciate the information. I subscribed after watching your quality video, it’s the least I could do. Maybe when I finally get round to the body and transfers I can send it over to you to sort that out for me 😂

@ Thanks, it is appreciated. I’m not monitised so don’t earn any money from these videos. The comments & chat keep me motivated. If I didn’t have such a backlog of projects, I’d be happy to help lol. I hadn’t done a clear body for so many years until this one, been mostly doing hard bodies. Lots of components but if you take your time, cut it all out, pre-drill and fit everything before painting, you’ll be fine. I’ve done a paint video for this one too. Lots of light coats is the key with time between to dry. Sorry, what’s your name? Are you in the U.K.?

Sound advice. I need to catch up on the rest of your videos 😉. Nick (Uk)

@ Thanks Nick. Have a good evening. Jase in Australia, originally from UK lol.
