    So, bein a total expert on painting models, i felt that all the advice on the paints to use on a lexan body was total rubbish...
    I was right!!! I used various types of paint and as you can see from the pics above it turned out pretty good........
    ........ so.. when the paint started falling off.... I decided to get another body and do it right........
    So heres me TRF501 with the Team Azarashi body....

    Ive just managed to drop in there a few time during the weeks .. so far havent met anyone else there.
    But ya learn a lot just doing circuits! The first was the car was a bit slow!
    so ive changed the pinion from 15t up to 21t, and seems ok... so hopefully will get there sunday if work doesnt get in the way!

    Doktor, if you are heading up to the DMCC track in Lucan, they run on a Saturday normally. Sundays I doubt anyone would be there. It's all weather dependant though.
