yer i ended up painting them from the outside i wasnt to sure how that would work out but it turned out pretty well, i ended up cutting away the over spray film very carefully and where i messed up i tapped it to clean it up XD
@@Midnight.CarbonFiber yep tamiya make packs of the 3mm and 5mm leds with the correct connectors for their control board and other brands make the 2mm or you can wire them yourself
In the Instructions that the shell or full kit came with it should show you which parts to paint on the headlight buckets, if memory serves most of the head light buckets need to be painted black, so best course is to look at the manual and tape off all parts that need to stay silver/chrome then spray the buckets black
I used PS-59 Dark Metallic blue for the body shell and the other parts are painted in TS-89 pearl blue, that is the best match of normal spray to the PS-59 I could find
Hi i think it was tamiya PS-59 dark metallic blue for the body and tamiya TS-50 mica blue for the other body parts it has been a while since i had done this
@@augie6029 This one build vid focuses on the body shell so ill explain what comes in the box for that, the box of course comes with the body shell, the head light and tail light buckets, mounting brackets for leds, the revision mirrors, spoiler, sticker sheet for all the details and a masking sheet for all the windows. What doesn't come in this kit is the lighting control units and the leds, as that is a separate items
@@poorkid9006 unfortunately youtube wont let me post links in comments because who knows why BUT!!! The 2 led units are both tamiya units the main controller of the LED's is the TLU-01 and the effects controller is the TLU-02 The TLU-01 can control 16 (2x8) led sets, and the TLU-02 can control 2 TLU-01 units for a total of 32 leds in a kit
@@kevinthemighty4378 yes i did the rear brake lights and the ring around the blinker are painted red and the blinker itself is painted in the orange, i used the poly carb sprays but to be honest i wouldnt recommend it as has a habit of leaking through smaller masking, its also a massive waste as you use so little of the spray can
As in the body shell number it is Tamiya 51246 For the actual full TT-02 Skyline kit, i don't actually know to be honest though it will be on the Tamiya website
Excellent bro. Looked sweet at the end. Many thanks for that vid, very helpful 👍🏼

@@105thArmoury I think i will try that one on my next body. I just hope i don't mess up and slip the knife :)
Where can we buy the lightning kit which you use ?
its the very helpful video.
The light kit i used was the tamiya TLU-01 and TLU-02 which you should be able to get from any hobby store that stocks tamiya RC kits
Is it necessary to use cement?
On the body shell? No not at all, no cement is needed, the only time i did was when i made the fog light buckets
How big are the lights and what is the size of the lights
there are 2 sizes used 2mm and 3mm leds
oh wait there is also 5mm leds
105thArmoury thank you so 2 mm 3 mm. And 5 mm
@@Midnight.CarbonFiber yep tamiya make packs of the 3mm and 5mm leds with the correct connectors for their control board and other brands make the 2mm or you can wire them yourself
105thArmoury this body uses all three of the sizes
Hi how to paint the front light bucket
In the Instructions that the shell or full kit came with it should show you which parts to paint on the headlight buckets, if memory serves most of the head light buckets need to be painted black, so best course is to look at the manual and tape off all parts that need to stay silver/chrome then spray the buckets black
Did you use orange led lights? How many of the light kits did you use?;)
Yep I used orange led for the blinkers, seemed the easiest option at the time, and I used 1 TLU-02 and 2 TLU-01 units in this, so lots of lights XD
Awesome! Looks badass!!
How did you get the orange lights to stay on solid like that? Mine just flash when sitting still.
Can this body fit on a redcat thunder drift
im not 100% sure best bet would be to see the wheel base of the body and see if it matches the rc chassis
look and measure the width and length and then go from there
Sir....what the color code this tamiya spray you use?
I used PS-59 Dark Metallic blue for the body shell and the other parts are painted in TS-89 pearl blue, that is the best match of normal spray to the PS-59 I could find
hello，what paint did you use the body？
Hi i think it was tamiya PS-59 dark metallic blue for the body and tamiya TS-50 mica blue for the other body parts it has been a while since i had done this
