thanks for the pics. I'm in the middle of painting mine right now, and I thought about keeping the masking on the windows but I wasn't too sure how well it would work. Now I know that I can keep them in place after the paint dries. RPP Hobby still has some bodies left. I'm buying another one , just to hoard it. |

thank for the comments I really love that body its a shame they discontinued it! believe it or not i actually painted both on the inside and outside of the body.... I did all the rust and yellow on the inside and after lightly sanding the outisde, I dull coated it deffinately looked alot better when it was fresh. | |
