372 - BBX Body Sides Completed

My Tamiya BBX body is on its way to be completed, the first step have been made and the body sides have been painted. After the painting the removal of the back ends is evident and it seem to not look so bad.

371 - BBX Body Sides Ready For The Painting

I've completed the cut and the sanding of the body sides of my BBX and now they are ready to be painted. In cutting them I've removed the portion of lexan roughly shown in yellow because many times, in watching the car, they appear s bit precarious to me.

I take the habit to help my self, during painting, with a carton support because it can be easily handled than sigle parts.

370 - BBX Rims Painting (Second Fail)

To fix the problem occurred with the dye of the new rims set for my Tamiya BBX I've decided to spray them with the Tamiya Ps-27 I've started do use in my lexan bodies from a while.

Neon yellows wheels match very well my last colors choiche and are usefull to spot my cars on the grass.

Painting the wheel is a solution that don't like but in this case I tried to save them to the awful yellow reached with dye: another fail.

I've sprayed them with a fine primer and than with the yellow but the result reminds me most "Jurassic Park" than a race car of the good old days.
