Ok!! I’ve been starting the paintwork.
Principally masking and recreate the designed rescue model that “I invented” lol
The first job is stick the windows mask. There is a mistake on the rear one (lateral/both). Is quite large, so you need to adjust using a sharp.
The second step is use a 1mm masking tape to recreate the door lines and the rubber on the windows.
Now I’m preparing to draw and painting the cubes and the roof.

That sure is a masking job. You are masking on the inside, right? Couldn't you have just painted the black for the rubber in the groove, then just painted over it?
You have to work backwards when painting inside a poly shell

My planning is paint ,first, the yellow and orange colour.
Then the white or light silver coat.
The last one will be black for all the interior. Then I will retire the “rubber” masking.

I tried to paint it with a permanent pen, but I don’t like the result.....

Hi Polux,
Looks like a lot of fun:smiling4: I had a fleet of RC stuff as a teen, monster beetle, touring cars, indoor mini stock, boats, helicopters and of course tanks:smiling5:
Very enjoyable

Today I visited a business that they produce different kind of stuff, like adhesives, photos, calendars, ....and all you can imagine and more.
The next Tuesday I will have my adhesives ready. The letters and the logos!!

Let’s see how they look once stocked at the body.

Is there a SWB version available? Would make a superb model of Lara Croft's Defender Pick Up from the first Tomb Raider movie.
The original is in the Motor Museum at Gaydon.
