Basicly its my experiment with pearl blue testors lexan body paint/spray, using an ultra-light body like Cobra on my MA to bring its weight down, and lastly improving my MA's handling due to lack of a top weight like a roof w/ glass.

Hooks were not glued in because I will race this thing and they'll bust in first 10 seconds.

I plan on adding 2 lime green stripes to mimic the original look to my liking. I also plan on spraying enamel clear coat when all is said and done to preserve it as best I can(and hopefully not fk up the paintjob that way).

Comparison to Auto Scales:

Looks cool. Your Cobra could be polished to get the glossier look, but the quality is great none the less. Nice job.

[XMDrifter]

maybe after you finish up the stripes, give it a nice clearcoat like they use on autoscales. buff and polish, and it'll be as shiny as an autoscale

[Skv012a]

YEa, I'm considering doing that. My only question is whether or not enamel clear coat will work well with acrylic stripes and this lexan blue.

i dig your cobra's rims. looks good!

[merc3des]

This is one of the nicest Mini-Z white to color bodies I've ever seen. The blue is fantastic, and it must be kick *** to see on the track.

[Skv012a]

After my lime stripe and glosscoat, it probably will be.

[Donziikid]

Love the color. Clean job.

Cheers,
Kyle.

Stage 2/3, 3 being the clear coat:

wow, i didn't think the stripe was gonna look good but it's tight.

[FloydfanYodaman]

cool project...liked it before the stripe...lovin the lil dude as well...nice work...porsche is sick too BTW

[Skv012a]

Stripe adds my color combo and track visibility. Let me ask all of you this- stripe color aside, do you like the position and the fact that its only 1 stripe?

[matt sti]

I like the one stripe, it makes it look sexy.

[bigez]

ya i think that it looked better befor the stipe but if it is going to be a race body i will not be on there very long lol
but i do like the blue over all i think it is an ok car

[Skv012a]

I could always add some basic shapes, just a matter of what exactly?

Side note, since I fixed my MR15, this bod on my 15 weighs a mere 165g RTR.

And NOW its complete w/ enamel gloss coat:





Acrylic silver and lime ran a little due to gloss coat, so now I'll be careful when using enamels and acrylics together(thought that would happen, but testing beats guessing).

I also think that look-wise, it was better more dull, but tell that to other cars on the track

I'm tempted to make my S2k into a rood down but I'm worried about messing it up or making it look dumb since you'll be able to see the inside. Nice job~!
