Got my Mighty FC........
 
1 Attachment(s)
The mail man dropped off the new Jeep Mighty FC body from RPP Hobby today but I'm torn as to what color to paint it. A large part of me wants to paint it like the one the body was modeled after but as though everyone is going to do the same. I want it to be unique......any help?Attachment 322506

Matte black or French Racing Blue.

Purple or teal like the early 90s Jeep Cherokee, or something fun like Plum Crazy.

Olive drab

I like the idea of Matte black and the olive drab like Jeeps Commando Green. I've never seen an olive drab Polycarbonate paint though.

I also like the factory color idea.

Decisions decisions........

Well I got it all cut in between figuring out the color. The plastic is very thin around the fender flares but it does look good.



The unfortunate and fortunate part is it does not fit my12.3" JK Unlimited chassis. Which means I can justify to my wife why I need to add another rig to my collection. :mrgreen:

I was really hoping that body would fit the 12.3" wheelbase. I like my honcho body but really like this one also I was hoping I could have both.

As for the color I think it might look good in one of these colors.

I was hoping it would fit also.

I really like the Dune Jeep color, not sure where to find it though.

So I went out and crawled a little today..........Attachment 322547





pondered my color choices and I think I've come up with what I want to do. If the paint holds up to a stress test since it isn't your common Polycarbonate paint I'm going with a Matte Beige. I had already purchased the bumper like the 1:1 and wheels/tires.Attachment 322548Attachment 322549





What do you think? Military theme as I'm currently active duty Air Force.

Will you be painting the outside of the shell to keep the paint finish matt? If that paint doesn't hold out I'm sure tamiya do a military paint range

I painted my GMade body using Krylon Fusion Satin River Rock. I think it came out awesome for that Army desert color.
