Finally received my Delta Plastik Jag XRS 1/7th scale 2mm body shell for my Limitless build after initially ordering the shell for it back in March.
My first order from Delta Plastik Italy was cancelled due to the Corona virus pandemic but then back in late May I was told by my LHS that the order was back on and expected towards the end of June. Well it took longer than that but it was worth the wait.
Took me maybe 8 hours last Saturday to get it to this stage.
Tbf I was messing with mounts a lot including adding two new ones to the side in order to hold the body in better.
Ready for my masking design now.
I wanted to use two colours on this shell for the main colours with the front colour being as bright as possible for maximum visibility at a distance.
The paints I am using are Fastrax Fast Finish "Cosmic Glow Green", "Spa Silver" and "Ivory White" for the backing colour.
Below is after I had finished masking off the front, cutting/laying my flame masking and have laid down an initial coat of the silver paint I was using.
Masking removed below so ready for the next colour.
Green fully painted, ...looks a poor colour choice at first but it looks better from the other side and will really pop with the white backing.
The finished article fitted to my Limitless.
Few more things to finish off like a shorter front splitter and a nice rear wing but then it'll be ready for a run. Hope you like.
