|  Project: Kodiak Have always liked the way the tamiya yj looks! Takes awesome pics. About time that i built one. I used to have a forest green '95yj. Gonna model some after it.  First i built a frame bracket for the servo.  Picked these swampers up at the local tire shop. Used,but almost new. Heck, one even had the tiretag still on it!!   More to come.... |

| Not a whole lot for updates just yet...Got the body in. The wb is spot on. Have a few early stage painting pixs for now. The paint is called British green. Pixs dont show true color.Its more like a forest green.    |

Great start! I don't know if it is the flash that brightens the color but it looks like you are a few tone brighter than British Racing Green. I had a 2.5lt 95 YJ in BRG a few years back.
