Thanks Luke, Oh colours are micro red and racing white, was going to use chassis under resin panel van body, there was just to much work to build it, the resin body was bowed out in the middle and could not get it to go back in place. :x Even the resin front started to bow up. :shock: Its put me off doing any thing with resin.

Went to Frontline hobbies yesterday and picked up some very thin strip of timber, Its a iron bark colour going to make new tray with the timber on top should look good with a clear coat on top of it.

Will normal clear coat work or do you need proper wood lacquer?

Jezz now you got me thinking, Got a meter of it so might cut a bit of and try it, If it does not work with Tamiya one will look at a wood one.
