    Awesome job! If you don't mind suggestions, dip the stickers into a bowl of water with a drop of dish soap. It allows you to position and move the stickers if needed. Use your towel to squeegee out the water and the heat gun to set them into place. Its a game changer !

      I will try that I wasn’t sure if the Tamiya sticker glue would do that.. i tried that with kyosho stickers and it was a failure

      Would you do this with the window masks as well?

    When using your flat clear it is best to just remove the over spray plastic to use as mask, what I did was to get a surgical scalpel and cut with that, much cleaner cuts.

    Nice work on paint! I’d like to know which chassis kit did you go with? If you don’t mind me asking

    All the finished product turns out awesome even if you goof a little but , the rule of thumb is to cut and drill the clear body out completely for best results.

    You did a fantastic job! I wish the holes didn't come predrilled. I would prefer magnetic body mounts for a cleaner look.

      There is a trick, and you don't have to drill, take a soldering iron w/ a pointed tip and there you go!!

    Is there a reason why you waited to cut it out after the paint job?

    • @chriscraft2
      @chriscraft2  2 роки тому +1

      In case the paint job gets screwed up. It takes me an hour to trim and sand the edges..
