RadshapeRC T-Rail Chassis with Defender 90

[Moderator igbandy Scaling Like A Pro★★★★★]

Was wondering how to paint the rubbers on the plastic glass for this 90. And remembered the paint pens we use at work, so I liberated a couple of black ones :whistle:

The paint pen in question are Edding 750 paint markers.

Still quite fiddly, but the paint control from them is very good. You only need to prime it before use, and the paint will flow slowly.

That looks great. What is your route with the fixings for these windows, just paint black, remove or paint rear of windows to hide them?

Not sure yet, I might remove the bits of plastic and screw the windows in with some m1.6 or m2 cap heads.

Ordered some gear from rcmodelex today. The 90 wont be getting its topcoat until the parts arrive. As I dont want to drill the body after I have painted it.

These photo`s are just for my use, to save keep finding them all the time whilst I`m at work!

The interior paint is pretty much done, just a bit of detailing to do :whistle:

Blimey, that’s looking awfully scale

I’m amazed RC4WD charge top whack and use inferior parts that are simply a specification option to them.

Here`s a photo of the inside of my 90 shell, its Ford Polar Grey. A pretty good match for the interior of the 50th anniversary. It came out pretty well, no orange peel effect either :woohoo:

First photo of the interior, still got a bit to do. Dash is painted matt black. Needs some grey bits painting on it.

I am very happy as yet with the inside paintwork, just hope we can get the outside looking this good!.

I like that, nice interior to work on arn’t they, plenty of room, and detail out the packet.

Thanks Bill, nice as in roomy, but an armhole to get paint on without primer. Tried painting the steering wheel tonight. An epic fail!.

So it`s in the car with some other parts for a primer session tomorrow at work :whistle:

The interiors of the 90’s look stunning compared to the 1:1’s :cheer:

Got some parts today from rcmodelex

D90 front cage and wing tops in ally checker plate

Alloy checker plate side protectors, and a large sheet of their alloy checker plate, as I want to do the lower rails below the doors. I also ordered one of there LR sticker sheets as well.
