Default Got my Mighty FC........

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?Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1437268246.320405.jpg

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

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.

Model Master GM Fathom Green Metallic lacquer


Or

That Jeep poster is cool. Now if someone made that Utility Wagon that would be the one I want.

Oh yeah, red and white for your FC

Well Tower Hobbies just got my money for a new Deadbolt SCX10 and some RC4WD 100mm King shocks.

More to come.........

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.

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.Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1437353992.691581.jpg

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.
