Ha ha, made me laugh when i had the idea to do it some time this morning . Met up with Jez to collect the car, and as i needed a quick paint job to race the car, i thought i can have the std shell 1 colour quick and simple, and i can have my usual paint scheme applied with no rush. I remembered i had some old frog decals ( re release ) and thought paint it pink and white lol. Tamiya frog was always my favourite....

Very nice there Col.

Looks the shizz nizz.

Baby Jesus is smiling, even though he's pooed his nappy again.

I'd really love to do a b4 (or even a b44!) up with the original rc10 box art paint job. Classic homage...

ref materials for the scheme are still available at http://aedownloads.com/pdf/early_rc10.pdf

Yeah deffo.. It sounds daft but our cars all used to have there box art livery predesigned ( esp tamiya and kyosho). Some people chose to paint it like that. Most didnt lol. High end comp kits like what we all use today dont have anything ( bar a few kits ). I suppose they would be more realistic if they were full size racers painted up like the Frog lol. Good to be different.....

That looks fantastic :) My 501x paintjob is inspired by a classic tamiya hopefully post some pics soon.

Any news on your 501 yet.. Classic paint schemes and decals may set off a new trend lol.. Col.

Its been a bit cold to go out into the garage and spray paint.. Although now I've had the extra time I'm pondering between two classic paint jobs :)
