You did a cracking job!! Beautiful attention to detail. I purchased the Tamiya Subaru Brat in 1984 when I was 14 years old. It was very expensive for me at the time ($500 with a Futaba controller and extra battery) but I kept it all these years. I worked hard to earn that money mowing grass and clearing snow. It took a while for me to build and my Dad had to help me. There was no out of the box plug and play like today's r/c cars. I recently took the Subaru out of hibernation and installed modern electronics, like the ESC and battery. The car is much lighter than the original and much faster than when I raced it back in the day. It makes me smile and feel good anytime I get a chance to play with it even though I tend to break a different part each time I use it. So little by little I am discovering the weak very old plastic parts and replacing them with new bits. My kids now enjoy the same toy I did 37 years ago! It's a blast! I primarily make automotive repair vids but I do have a vid on how I "updated" the Brat for anyone interested. Thanks for the vid! -Glen

I always wanted this truck when I first got into RCs. Turns out the chassis is basically a Tamaya Frog (or is the Frog a Brat?) so converting my frog to a Brat was pretty easy. By then the hard bodies were not as easy to come-by as poly, so I painted a poly carbon body red (less details than yours) and added the stickers. My little Frog became a Brat the rest of it's time with me. Thanks for the trip back to the good ol' days. Cheers.

haha I feel the same way doing hard bodies. I'm my own worst enemy. I had to paint my OG Monster Beetle over twice. The first time, I was outside and as I was laying red paint, it started to rain and it was a beautiful sunny day. I had to sand it down and re-spray red. Then, it was in my basement sitting for a few weeks and something got on the body in some spots almost like a haze... So I sanded, re-primed and then Italian red again. Man too much work into this damn thing lol.... anyways, as usual your brat looks top notch. Great job my friend.

This video is most timely as I am in the final stages of my re-issue Brat build. I am finding this to be as difficult if not more difficult than you did because I have gone for metallic red on the body plus I intend to spray the wheels, front bar and roll bar silver. I found the front and rear sections a complete nightmare and did not think to use the masking technique like you did, I have done a lot of it freehand and for fine details and correcting my mistakes I used a cocktail stick. A massive save for me was the use of a black paint pen for the side strips and a Molotow chrome pen with a fine nib for the window surrounds, the line around the rear bed, door handles and Subaru logos. The paint pens sit in the grooves like a stylus so no need to mask most of the time. Anyway, so good to see you struggle as much as I am doing, great vid Glen, thank you!

Hi Glenn, Looks good. Those decals set it off nice. They take a while to complete don't they! I usually spend a few days on mine, sometimes a week or more, taking it steady, spray thin and build it up with good drying time between coats and a light sanding with very fine sand paper just to pick out the high spots. Have you ever tried Tamiya flexible masking tape, it's made of a soft resin material and is excellent for small jobs like window trim areas and adheres to tight contours well. I can highly recommend it, I've been using it for a long time on both lexan and hard body types. It's also highly bleed resistant and you can almost guarantee a fine edge. A quick tip to the guy with the best Tamiya channel and followers: to keep your paint bleeding to a minimum spray away from the edge of your tape. ATB Glenn and keep em coming. Darren.

Nice job Glen👌 Last time, I did the Isuzu Mu in orange. So much masking😬. Ended up not driving much because I did not want to scratch it and a year later I sold it to a collector. I want to run all my cars. A Black clod will be my next hard body rc car for sure 😊

Yeah I know exactly what you mean Goran 😊. Soooooo much work involved to then go out and roll it over 😬😬😬
