Awsome, i was tempted to do an a team theam to my lunchbox, or the cannonball run ambulance. Iconic 80’s vans. But im thinking i may do it as a police van now 😂
Hi iam not addicted, had no tamiya as a kid, did not know what tamiya is until i was 30 😂 but i like tamiya for no reason. I really don't know!! Great project! I did know 2 Hotwheels bodys for tamiya chassis.
Tamiya was always out of reach as a kid. Parent could only afford the cheaper ready to run RC cars, which was fine. As an adult, able to afford these things, then why not eh. Can’t say I see many children playing with Tamiya RC cars though.
Tamiya has the wheels in Metalic Red. They are from a Lunch box or Suzuki Jimny model Special Editions. I have the wheels in Metalic Blue and I threw them on the Chrome Pumpkin. You got to find the Red ones man!
I painted my Tamiya Lunchbox van to look like the Scooby-Doo van. It is really easy to do. Just buy the decals in the UK and spray the van the green/blue color. Thoughts?
@@rctamiyaaddict4687 it's an honour to meet another tamiya fan, even as my first car I found the teu 101bk speed control flawless very smooth and responsive compared to mechanical. Sorry I love rc cars lol
Great job fella! As an eighties kid, loved the A Team..... along with Dukes of Hazzard, Knight rider etc etc. A lot of work goes into the prep and painting of one of these, but it's a highly rewarding process once complete! That looks stunning. 🙏 👍 👍 👍
@@rctamiyaaddict4687 Indeed!! How cool would that be then?! So many great car chase/stunt programmes and films came out in the eighties! I have done a General Lee on the Kyosho Fazer platform, and would love to do Rosco's sheriff car next! 48 years old and still not grown up yet! 😂 👍 👍 👍
@@alfredyost7972 I do love a General Lee matey! What Tamiya chassis did you use? I'm guessing perhaps the TTO2? 🤔 My General Lee is on a kyosho Fazer mk2 chassis..... It's featured in lots of our content over at Green Hawks RC! 👍 👍 👍
Yeah after masking a section, sprayed some TS clear. This gets in any of the small gaps that haven’t masked and stops the coloured paint bleeding through when sprayed. That’s the theory anyway.

Thank you! Cheers!

I’d like to do an NYC police van for some reason. But I’ve got three shells now, so probably won’t. Thanks for taking a look.
@@rctamiyaaddict4687 that would be a nice look, as would a ghostbusters style lunch box 👌
Amazing work!! Spot on with this custom lunchbox. Great stuff 🙌🏻
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching.

@@rctamiyaaddict4687 hi I also see nearly non Tamiya Cars driving.

I’ll keep looking!
😍😍😍
Thank you
Wow. Awesome. Your Luch Box looks amazing. 🤩👍🏻
Thank you, appreciate you taking a look.
Awesome paintjob, it looks great, this vid makes me want to build the lunchbox for my next build 👍
You should! Thanks for watching.

I love a film or TV movie vehicle! Great choice.
@@rctamiyaaddict4687 They are fun to do. Thanks
Hello all the way from South Africa, hard to believe I owned that exact model back in 2006, good truck but needs a beefy motor
Hi! Certainly a favourite of mine. Thanks for watching.

They are addictive! Thanks for taking the time to message.

Tamiya should get the rights to produce these 80s tv and film cars. Thanks for taking a look.

I did a Dukes of Hazard R/C car. I used a Tamiya chassis to do it.

What Tamiya chassis did you use?
I'm guessing perhaps the TTO2? 🤔
My General Lee is on a kyosho Fazer mk2 chassis..... It's featured in lots of our content over at Green Hawks RC! 👍 👍 👍
@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC Yes, I did. I also got metal wheels from RC4WD. They they look cool. Thoughts?
Awesome video and spectacular job on the paintwork. You mentioned about spraying a gloss coat after fresh paint to prevent bleeding??
Yeah after masking a section, sprayed some TS clear. This gets in any of the small gaps that haven’t masked and stops the coloured paint bleeding through when sprayed. That’s the theory anyway.
It looks good! I will eventually do one of these as well, it is too col not to have one!
Go for it! Thanks for watching.
I see you deleted my comment and that's kool I guess that's what I get for trying to support. No worries
What was you comment? I don’t recall deleting anything. Always willing to listen to advice.
