It looks great, it comes together with practice. As a 1/24th model builder thru the 70's, painting a 1/10th scale was a treat. I have painted or re-painted well over 50 of the VW's and there wasn't one where I didn't find a paint issue that I had to go back a do-over because of all the seams in the body. It doesn't matter how well you think the tape went into the crease, or over a protrusion, it's going to leak a little bit. Not sure I am a fan of the racing white, the pure white leaves a better contrast between the blue, especially if it's a metallic. Some of my favourites are the Ford Grabber colours or the Mopar High Impact Paints, they always look great. Grabber Green or Sassy Grass, Sublime look amazing on the VW bug. I did my share of painting poly bodies, and I am not a fan of painting them, or the looks of them. Seems more like a half measure when compared to the hard bodies, but to each their own. Cool stuff! 😎

Hi Glenn, it’s been a while! Nice to see that you painted your own Sand Scorcher. I know what you’ve been through, you know Sand Scorchers are my specialty. I’ve done over 50 Sand Scorchers and I learned that patience is the key! One question, why didn’t you masked the complete body after the Racing White? You could save time there, but the final result was satisfying right? I really liked that you put on those MCI decals instead of those fake sponsor decals from Tamiya, great job Glenn! Hope to hear from you in the future. Best regards, Alex from The Netherlands Ps. The Brat is also a pain in the @ss to paint up

Thanks Glenn, I was convinced by TS07 and I’ve oredered one! I am building almost at the same time a scorcher. Body left and I will profit from your first hand experience! This body is a challenge - so thrilled and anxious at the same time!!! Hope I will get it as beautiful as yours… Scorcher build is awesome but I was surprised at the steering angle and the servo saver system. Not that wide, is it? I have read a simple fix, that is fixing directly the servo on the chassis by removing the transparent plastic nose to achieve direct steering with a double servo saver. Don’t know if my gibbering makes sense but I think it is an easy fix. Aside that what a pleasure to build this ‘antique´! Farewell Sir, you’re always an inspiration!

Glen.. ha ha, you make me laugh. It looks amazing. Again, back in the day, we painted our cars, as kids really poorly, but thought they looked great..But it didnt matter. We were out in quarries and waste ground, the school play ground thrashing them to death, having fun with several mates........we aspired too and drooled over the tamiya catalogues..Then there was no such thing as a shelf queen...Now I as you as adults, we look for tamiya box art shelf queen perfection..You have achieved it, and off white looks better than pure white on these..Great Job

He/She is a beauty. Is the body original or re re? Can't tell if with or without rear window. Are you going to upgrade or as what comes with the kit? If upgrade, rcchannel makes a good front metal bumper and rear metal bar plus AL wheels. Plain Jane is nice, but the full Monty is delicious.

Yeah I would absolutely love to do one but I don’t think I have the patience!! 🤣 The Subaru Brat video also turned me off to that one although that one would be the one I would be more likely to do. But man you really knocked that one out of the park!!! Gotta say you make people really want to attempt to do one. My friend BoB did one and he said it was a nightmare to do but I think he did a awesome job as well! I unfortunately have big clumsy hands and lack the patience. Great job buddy I really loved and appreciated this video and the work. Thanks

I still haven't got a sand scorcher (wanted from 1st release!) , there was no stock when i had the time and money 18 months age... BUT i did buy a set of the inner arches. I think they really look good with those. Mine when i get it will be original colour/box art BUT will be ragged to hell once built! I'm going to go for the box art bumper set up too. Talking to a mate at work we were saying how cool it would be to do a full size version BUT electric rather than petrol! We know its been done with a petrol engine already but to make the real one look like the original out of the box build.

Racing White is closest to the white color that VW used on the Bug in the 70s. I think the three exhaust brackets are supposed to be more loose rather than tight so that it can flex when it rolls over, otherwise the exhaust tip will just crack off.

Glen you really need to use pin strip masking tape. It bends to the curves of the body . I use it for custom work on real cars . Looks green tho and the vintage White 👌

Wow, you've done a fantastic job on that Sand Scorcher, way better than I could have managed! If I got one I'd definitely go for non-boxart, not entirely sure what, but defo not box art. Excellent video as always!!

Having just completed two of these, I can fully appreciate how difficult is this paint scheme. Perfection is impossible with this one. I think you've done an outstanding job! I'm always impressed by your Tamiya rattle can paint jobs. They always look as if they have been polished. I can't seem to achieve the same perfect finish. Would you consider posting a short how-to video? I really like the slightly off-white. Well done sir!!

Yep, I hear you, it is a right of passage for an RC guy. I also feel the burn of putting it off. I have 11 Tamiya kits here, Grasshopper, Frog, Hornet,Hotshot,Egress,Top Force EVO, Avanti, Avante Black, Super Avante and last but not least a TRF 503. All brand new kits all waiting to be built. The only one that gives me the heeBee GeeBees is the Scorcher. It matters so much that the paint is right on the buggy that I am almost dreading it LOL. Now I just have to leave my 1/5 and 1/8 scale RTR cars alone long enough to give me time to build the Tamiya stuff. As you can prob tell I am a Tamiya collector haha. I don't do FB or social media but happy to share my collection with you. I know you have done collection vids before. If you get the itch again let me know. I would be willing to air my collection for the show, I have 43 cars in total.
