[@mrvolksmad]

Tip from when I use to paint Rc planes.....spray the colour your covering firstly then the bleed will be white and stop the blue bleeding...

[@TAMIYALegends]

Oh wow I’ve never heard of that before but it makes perfect sense 😊😊😊

yes Glenn mate I've just ordered mine looking forward to getting it been wanting one since I was 7 It does look good mate I know they're tricky but you've done a great job😊😎👍👊🇬🇧

Hi! It turned out really nice, well done! I finally ordered a Sand Scorcher after wanting one since… forever.

[@wildcat650power]

Awesome jobs sir. I'm a 35+ year automotive painter. I want this kit for the painting challenge. I didn't know it was at that level so thank you. One thing I want to mention for future projects. Get yourself a set of Molotow Liquid Chrome Markers. You won't be disappointed.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thanks buddy I’ll have a look at them 😊👊🏻

[@noidnomis]

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! 😎

[@johnnycoolness]

Racing white looks great. It is certainly a challenge I'd like to accomplish one day, I'd prefer to paint black on the inside to add even more realism.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah totally agree about painting the inside, wish I’d of done that lol 😂

[@Zeros_Hobbies]

Yeah man i think you made the right choice with the white, its got that old paint look. Great job

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah definitely did, but I didn’t actually realise that until the very end lol 😂

[@JeepsCafe]

The white paint gives it a classic look, I do like it a lot. Masking the blue below the door handles is a great idea, that is how i will mask mine too. Another Tamiya kit that takes a lot of time is the Buggyra Fat Fox. It is now a shelf queen because I dont want to build another one. Excellent video bud!

[@davidwinter5199]

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

Fantastic comment David, it’s all about the memories and nostalgia my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@brickmissing8295]

Great job. My SS bodyshell has spent a year sitting on my bench awaiting a re-mask & respray to fix a mistake on the roof. This video has made me want to get it finished. PS. It’s also worth going for the scorched parts wheel arch inserts - gives a much better looking side view.

Funny you say rite of passage. I was feeling the same way about a wild willy I just ordered. But I figured a car like that is great for a small lawn anyway. The sandscorcher is sooo retro. The off white and blue stepper and guards (that you refer to as wings lol) are brilliant.

[@paulus842000]

That's an absolute beaut mate, I honestly think that the little defects make it even more realistic for a 70s Baja desert racer. I think that the Mexico sticker would be the perfect finish. Just to add that little bit of realism the the Baja history.

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.

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!

Thank you my friend 🤩 Yeah I’ve not done that mod myself but I’ve seen it done and it’s definitely worth doing 😎👊🏻

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.

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.
