Time to start building this Tekno MT48 2.0 kit!

Just gotta figure out what I want to do with the paint I have on hand... Tamiya white and Spaz Stix fire red...

Like putting lipstick on a Chevy, but...

I like that big white stripe. I ordered some firetruck decals from amain.

For a square body pickup, your two-tone big white stripe thoughts are good for that classic look.

I know that if I try that two-tone I am going to screw it up. My painting skills are like watching a 4 year old try to color in the lines.

Meh, it's a Chevy, who'd notice?

Well, now I gotta make it look extra nice! Wouldn't want someone to think it's lesser quality like that of a Ford or a Dodge...

I just wish Tekno would have made some sort of roof support or roll hoop.!! I destroyed so many bodies on my MT410 through bad roof landings..

Your's is looking sick with those huge monster truck tyres..

That would be awesome, but so hard considering how many different size bodies you can use. I plan on putting shoe goo and drywall tape on this body. I put a Bug body on my original MT410... That body lasted 1 session, and I ended up with a bent shock tower.

Well, I bet it will look great from a distance! Lol. I had some mishaps, bleeder, and I should have made the chrome stripe wider.

That overspray film was so incredibly hard to peel off. I've never had that much trouble with it.

It really looks good!

After a few battle scars you won't mind the little flubs so much!

I knew you could do it.

Looks awesome..!! even better than I thought it would
I'm not a lover of red personally, but it really suits that body really well..

 

[ferrebee88]

I added some well needed protection in the form of drywall tape, shoe goo, and Arrma Senton roof skids. Good thing this truck has a low COG, because that body weighs 263 grams.

I can't help it, I love stickers...

 

[ferrebee88]

Interesting... I've never had this happen. Maybe i was too impatient when I put my paint layers on. The drywall tape ate through the paint and put a white pattern on the inside...

That makes it less painful when you roll it and scratch it all up anyways.
At 40mph or so, you won't even hardly see it anyways!
