Bloody Nightmare! Restoring A 1991 Tamiya Toyota Celica GT-Four Rally RC Car TA01 RC 58096

[@rcgeneration824]

Truly a work of art my friend. I actually own 7 crawlers/trail trucks but you convinced me to also go back, and to start collecting these amazing cars. With Tamiya, you can never go wrong. I subscribed to your awesome channel.

@@RCKickschannel thank you sir. Greetings from Texas.

Nice work Gav. I actually just started using an airbrush because I am tired of flooding bodies. Literally use no paint with an airbrush. Appreciate all the tips and thank you for the longer video. I know the analytics don’t like the long ones but we sure do.

Did you finish building it? It’s a bit of a handful I must say.

Great video. Guilty of being one of those who doesnt go back to old 'how to' videos.

Nice work Gav 😎

Great vid, cheers mate!

[@jayhow997]

A compass cutter is handy for arches, you can score cut up to an snap or can get one one perfect circular cut . Even if the arch isn't perfectly circular set up the compass to cut the highest point of the arch which leaves some small area to trim either side which is easier as you don't have to try get scissors at a weird angle at the top of arch.

[@barrycheesemore2928]

You've made a damn good job of that Celica, much better than I could have managed. Nice one!!

[@kenblockx2010]

Well done Gavin, nicely done👍👍👍👍

[@kennychristie4310]

Fair play Gavin. That is alot of work. I thought it might have been decals! Old Skool Tamiya were not easy!

This is some great value content right there 🫡

Nice paintjob. It's always a pleasure to watch you doing it. Even with a little experience I can still learn something. Very cool.

Great video on body painting!! Your masking tip is the same as what I do too 😉 Would be great to see more of this type in the future as doing up bodies is always a challenge. More tips and perhaps showing more of the techniques used would be very helpful too!! 👍🏻

Great work Gav, the GT4 is one of my fave rally cars, i need to do an escort cosworth in repsol colours, but as im going to run it in the iconic cup, i wont be doing it to this level of detail. Will get trashed 😂

Great job! Recently finished the paint on a GR86. Took weeks to get the masking right but got there in the end. Feel your pain on this one.

[@GavinEvans1]

Message me on Telegram I have a package for you

[@TheYorkshiregolfbandit]

Gav I keep saying learn to use a air brush. I do all my cars with one, doesn’t have to be a expensive set up for RC body’s but trust me the results are way better than a rattle can when your doing detailed parts esp the amount of masking not needed Top job still looks 💯😍👍

[@RCKickschannel]

I have two already. The issue currently is I don't have a location to use an airbrush.

[@erhanuzdilli9788]

Bloody friggin fiddly isn't it...???? It looks smick.... Thanks for prep work.

[@brianargo1659]

The black strip on the doors can the whole thing be put on and the square decal with the number 2 on it be held up to it and used to mark the black strip for cutting out that section so to remove it and them stick down ur number plate. That way u get ur door jam cuts in the right spot?

[@tonygregg6957]

I thought I'd made a mistake and cut the mudflaps off but you've done the same. Not sure if they should be on or not, but I might get another body and cut less off the arches

i still have one of these XD

XD is the way to go lol. Same for the Fat Fox.

[@durbar546]

I used to use the cheap masking for the rest of my bodies and never again id rather pay more for tamiya masking and just use that all over but still looks great

I have a Tamiya Toyota Celica R/C car. My car has a much newer chassis. I also got a Tamiya pre-painted body separately. I did not think that I could paint a body like that. Thoughts?

This kit was released twice and the second version came out on a newer chassis. You can find info about it on Tamiyabase

[@mikestansbury2510]

you are way more patient than i am. even with the small flaws it looks amazing. if it looks good from far away, i am happy with it since i burn out and fly before anybody can see my weak paint job anyway! when i was a kid, tamiya had paint markers that made the edging a bit easier, so I used those things. haven't seen them in a long time, but i think they were a bit hit or miss anyway, which is probably why i don't see them anymore. still they helped me out a lot especially in the corners!

[@RCKickschannel]

I wish you could still get the paints and pens as it helps sometimes.

[@Peter-wb9gt]

Molotow pens can be quite good
