Hey Mark! You are certainly the 'yoda' of tamiya tuitional build videos bud..... Usual high quality production that we have come to expect from the master! 👌 Your experience shines through with these bodies mate. Rally car bodies are total a*******s to complete..... so much patience and skill required with the high level of attention to detail needed for both the painting, and the decals. I can fully appreciate the time/effort that went into the black paint detailing..... but in my mind it is an essential task. If you are too lazy to bother with it, you may as well just buy an Arrma or Traxxas ready to run! Yeah the tasks are enduring and often stressful, but that just makes the finished product that much more rewarding! These highly detailed scale bodies are what Tamiya do best, it's down to us to finish them with the dignity they deserve! Fully behind you with the cotton buds, an essential piece of painting equipment. I also love a good cocktail stick to get in the tight crevices (oo er! 🤣) and once sharpened to the required tip specifications is great for dipping in the paint and doing the small details. Great decals tips there bud..... not guna lie- I would definitely struggle applying those, and struggle even more to actually drive the thing after so much hard work has gone into it (I always crash! 🤕) Turned out DELIGHTFUL mate, especially when finished with a cock pit! 👌 Great job Mark! 👍 👍 👍 👍
Hi there James! You are too kind mate, you know every time I start a new build guide I'm bricking it in case I mess up!!! 🤣 We all make mistakes and the pressure is on when you know your friends will be watching with beady eyes!!! Anyway, I got lucky and this turned out OK! Patience is needed in bucket loads mate! And yeah, detailing is a part of the fun and why I never by RTR's. Agreed, these hard bodies are Tamiya's best. Glad it's not just me with the cotton buds and cocktail sticks! 😉 I certainly don't want to crash it but sadly that is inevitable! Fingers crossed it won't be too bad though! 🤞 Thanks again and all the best my mate! 🙏😎👍
I really appreciate that, Derek! I actually enjoy fitting the decals but it's just so much trickier (and nerve-wracking!) trying to do it on camera!!! Any body you want me to do would be a pleasure my friend! Cheers! 🤗👌👍
Oh, wow, Mark! Such a lot of work with those stickers! Very rewarding, especially when seeing those last photos out in the nice light, it is such a cool rally car! I can imagine being annoyed with needing to paint black first, and then needing to apply the decals over it and it can't be seen, ha ha. But your commitment to doing it right for the video is admirable. It's a proper video guide, this! And now, as always, I am just looking forward to seeing it out in the dirt, in slow motion. Take care, my friend!
Hi Mads and thanks for the wow comment! Yeah, the stickers are rewarding when you get them right and I love the overall look of this rally car. And the black on the rear end was worth doing in the end as the sticker alone would have white showing through! So all in all I'm very pleased! I'm really glad you enjoyed it mate, I have just got to summon up the courage to drive it! Cheers! 😎👍
Hi Mark, great details and build. The Tamiya paints can be tricky to use and require patience but worth it. Those decal look so good, always learn something from watching you build RCs 👍🏾
Thanks Paul! You are right about those Tamiya paints! But I find the old Testor's enamels I have are just easier to use! I really wanted to do this one justice as it's such a pretty car, luckily I got away with it! All the best my friend! 👍
Looks great Mark and I am glad you had the glamor shots there at the end! I know those fender graphics were nerve wracking! I always stress over ones like that! It turned out great and you are going to have to try and keep this one shiny side up for a while!! LOL!!
Many thanks, Addam! Glad you liked the glamour shots! Oh yes my friend, there was plenty of stress here whilst doing the decals, even after I had a practice on the one side, off-camera! Definitely want to keep her looking pretty, so will try and run on soft surfaces only!!! No trees in the vicinity! 🤣 All the best! 😎👍
You could of just left it unpainted and not bothered with the black details and just slapped on the decals and off you go! (((BUT))) so damn pleased you didn't Mark! All that effort absolutely pays off the details make it! Totally agree a work of art my friend! Absolutely stunning! Top job mate l am really impressed with your work. One problem you do have now is you have made this look too beautiful to use now lol.... I have developed a phobia of doing bodyshells these days they are like walking through a mine field for me lol....so big respect man! Cheers James.
Hiya James and thanks as always for the support and kind comments. Yeah, I could have left it plain but you know me by now my friend! If a job's worth doing and all that... I definitely have a problem now, I think I'd cry like a baby if I smashed this beauty up!! I'll have to find an enormous mattress with feather pillows around the edge to drive it on! 🤣 I also have that bodyshell phobia, it took ages to pluck up the courage to start this one and still have the Brat hard body to do, but TH-cam will make me do it! All the best, cheers my mate! 😎🙏👍
@@MarkBryanRC Haha you always do a fantastic job Mark but that bodyshell Phobia is real😫 and sadly seems to get worse lol...just got to go for it and what's the worst that can happen?? Well could destroy the decals or paint job and the bodyshell is wrecked!!!! The stuff nightmares are made of!!! Seriously stunning job on this body you must be over the moon with yourself on that! Good luck with the Brat body its another beautiful shell but again tricky painting! Good luck my friend and remember to meditate for 6 hours before getting your brush out! It works l promise you!😉 Cheers buddy.
Slimline paint pen perfect for all the areas requiring a steady hand which aren't so easy with a brush that can cause trouble with stray bristles. Great video excellent fitment of the stickers. Looks beautiful.❤❤
Great tip! Many thanks for that, I wish I'd had a paint pen for this body job! I must order one... Thanks also for the kind words about my Lancia, appreciated! 😎🙏👍
Here we go again, the Master of decals at his best!!!!! Mark my friend, you out did yourself on this one, it looks Freaking Great!!!!! I'm sharing this!!!!!
Wow, thanks for the glowing comment mate! I must admit it took some doing and I'm happy how it came out in the end! I was bricking it at some points though, Bob! Thanks for watching and sharing, always appreciated here! 🙏😎👍
Absolutely amazing details there. Nice tips for stickers/decals too. I work in art department for TV shows here and besides painting, I do faux finishes and ageing. But one big thing in Scenic dept, is decals, on everything! So some of the techniques I learned from my Tamiya builds actually transfer to my work. Last week I was on the ocean, standing on the edge of a Zodiac to get a massive decal on a larger boat to hide the boats name... Wild. Great work on the car and look forward to seeing some running footy!
Hi there A! Great to read about your job, it sounds really interesting and must be very rewarding! Amazing that techniques learnt in our hobby help in your career, but hey, skills are always transferrable! Skills are skills! I think I could do with some time near the ocean, sounds great to me! Thanks for the kind comment and wishing you a great week ahead, dude! Cheers! 😎👍
Thanks Mark, I’ve got one of these to build, useful to know about the bits that are painted black. Can’t see point of Tamiya telling you to do the rear if the decal covers it 🤷♂️ Definitely one of the best looking cars Tamiya make
Hi Martin, great to know you have one of these beauties to do! I think the back needs to be black to get the exact look of the real car after all! But it will look cool just with the sticker anyway! Hope you enjoy yours and thanks for the great comment. Cheers! 😎🙏👍
Thank you kindly, Sir! It took every bit of my skills and then some to do this one my friend! Not bad in the end even if I say so myself! 🤣 Many thanks as always, Nick - cheers! 😎🙏👍
The Lancia 037 is a gorgeous looking car, and Tamiya have done a great job with that bodyshell. And you've done a brilliant job of painting and putting the decals on, it looks amazing!!
Thank you very much, Barry! Agreed, this is one beautiful rally car and the hard body makes a big difference over the Lexan ones. I just don't want to crash it! Your kind comments are much appreciated my friend! 🙏😎👍
Hi dude...🖐, well what a fantastic looking rally car you've created. As you said, 'a work of art' and it certainly is. I've been anticipating this video for some time and it hasn't disappointed, in fact it exceeded my expectations. A brilliant finish and well done. Well worth all the hard work as you'll be enjoying this model for years to come. Excellent stuff mate...😍👍🏻😍👍🏻.
Hi mate, it's great to read you and I hope things are going OK. I've been watching your uploads but can't tell you how much I've enjoyed them until now! Great stuff my friend! Anyway, thanks so much for the endorsement and I'm so pleased you approve of this beauty! Too true, I'll be slavering over this one for some time to come! Take care my good friend and best wishes as always! Cheers! 🤗🙏👍
Aww, thanks bro, glad you're liking our recent stuff. All good here mate and seemingly at your end. Look forward to the maiden run of the 037..👍🏻👍🏻.
Hi there my master! 😊😊😊every time I watch your videos, I’m always in ore ! Amazing details, amazing instructions, and an amazing result. Mark my good friend, your skills are legendary! Absolutely beautiful, going those extra miles to paint in the matt black body detailing, before doing the decals, was absolutely the right thing to do. Awesome my guru! Best wishes to you and the family 😊
Hi there John! You are too kind my friend! But I'm chuffed that you enjoyed it all the same. Yes I'm glad I took the time and effort to detail with the brush paint, I think it really does make a difference to the final look. Thanks again and best to you and yours! 🤗🙏👍
Looks good Mark, you're braver than me, trying to brush Tamiya paints never ends well. I tend to use Vallejo Model Air paints for brushing, ironically they are airbrush paints, but they brush really nicely and cover really well too. Also they can be cleaned off of the Tamiya spray paints, like the white base coat really easily, making things like those rear vents much easier. I agree, definitely one of the best looking cars that Tamiya do.
Hi there! Thanks for the tip about the model air paints, I'll look out for those, yeah the Tamiya matt brush paints are awful! The 037 came out OK in the end but could always be better! Thanks again and best wishes from Mark! 😎👌👍
@@MarkBryanRC It's funny because, when thinned down, the Tamiya X & XF paints are great for airbrushing, they lay down really nicely and cover really well.
Oh wow that kit is another level of detail to pretty much any other RC rally car. Much more like a static kit than an RC. As ever you have risen to the challenge and done an absolutely awesome job on it. Definitely one for gentle runs this one. I was surprised how capable it was when Dom ran his so should be fun. Lovely job on the video too mate. Most enjoyable to watch with a pint of IPA. Best wishes my friend 😁🍺🍺
Hi Pete! Couldn't agree more, definitely more like a static kit and I'm a bit worried about cracking the ABS body on this one! I'll try and take it steady but you know how it goes! Thanks for the kind words, this really tried my skills I can tell you. Yeah Dom's looks so good in action so fingers crossed for mine. Glad you enjoyed that IPA while watching, best to you mate - cheers! 🤗👌👍
Thanks for the decal application tips…so appreciated!!! I have a few kits with chassis built but no clue where to start with decals (don’t know how wet vs dry and not want to screw up the beautiful bodies) thank you 🙏🏻
The finished body's testament to your patience and determination, Mark. My hat goes off to whoever designed the full-size body, and to the Tamiya guy/s who rendered it in 1:10 scale. Did the black paint strip (and - my goodness - you did that so well!) across the rear of the car make the pattern from the sticker invisible, in the end?
Hi Del and thank you for the thumbs up on this one! True, the designers of the 037, Pininfarina are true legends and Tamiya are incredible copycats! Ah, that black rear panel, I think the paint is needed to replicate the original look. You can just about make out the chequered pattern in the right light. I think it was right to paint it after all, but of course the matte finish doesn't "matter" 😁👍
I've done an 037 myself and thoroughly enjoyed it it was difficult to paint. I've used tamiya paints for years they spray beautifully but I really not good at all for in fact I don't think I've found an acrylic based paint yet that's very good for brushing.
Thanks ☺ Gary and glad to know it wasn't just me struggling with the painting! Totally agree, I'm not a fan of acrylic brush paint, much prefer the old enamels. Cheers! 😎👊👍
Hi Mark,Yes I agree it looks beatiful and you did an amazing Job...BUT..I did the Golf Mk 1 Racing Group 2 last week and doing it was quit a pain though it looks good. But for me it´s too much Scale Modeling it would simply be a shame to hit something with it. I´m glad when my Subaru Impreza 2004 arrives tomorow It´ll be much simpler and more forgiving than the ABS body. But none the less great Job on your part and Yes it´s such a beatiful Kit. Enjoy it and keep doing your stuff as you do it.
Hi Yardley and thanks for the great comment as always! I'm glad you approve of the 037 but I know you love your VW's!!! That Golf sounds awesome! Yes the Lexan bodies are far more forgiving, I hope you enjoy your new Subaru Impreza. I appreciate your kind words and I will try my best to keep the content coming. Cheers! 😎🙏👍
I have one of these in my stash as well to build 1 of these days. Gorgeous looking car for sure. Did you try to apply any heat to the decals to make them conform around the side of the car? If you are using the Tamiya black out of the little jar try mixing in a bit of their paint thinner. Will go down nice and smooth with no brush lines. Tamiya acrylic paints has a high density of pigments and really should be thinned. You're model came out absolutely perfect!! Cheers!!
Hello Alex and thanks for the great comment! 👍 You will enjoy building this one my friend! Yes I did use a little heat on the decals that curved around the tighter angles, it did help them conform. 😉 Thanks for the paint 🎨 tip there! Best wishes from Mark 👊 😎👍
Boy that came out beautifully Mark; well done my friend!👍😊 I’d love to get one of these but I don’t think I’d be able to get those decal stripes down like you’ve perfectly done!
Many thanks Jeremy, I appreciate that! It sure is a fiddly body to get right but with a little time and patience I'm sure you'd get there! Have a great week ahead, brother! 😎👍
Great work and there was a lot of it. I do love the body so much but would never buy one as the paint and stickers too much to get right. Does look a little too good to use.
Hi Mal and thanks for the kind words. Yeah, it's a lot of work to get this one looking right. And I agree, I'm worried about spoiling this one in a roll over or crash. She will be driven carefully! All the best, mate! 😎👍
Hi Fons and great to read you again, it's been a while, I hope you are doing well! You got that right mate, it's a tricky body to get right! Glad you liked it, yeah it's a smashing rally car! Greetings from Mark! 😎👌👍
Hi Richard, yep it's sexy alright! Any definitely a fiddly job and then some! I hope you do give it a go because it's worth the effort in the end. All the best! 😎👍

I've done an 037 myself and thoroughly enjoyed it it was difficult to paint. I've used tamiya paints for years they spray beautifully but I really not good at all for in fact I don't think I've found an acrylic based paint yet that's very good for brushing.
Thanks ☺ Gary and glad to know it wasn't just me struggling with the painting! Totally agree, I'm not a fan of acrylic brush paint, much prefer the old enamels. Cheers! 😎👊👍
Hi Mark,Yes I agree it looks beatiful and you did an amazing Job...BUT..I did the Golf Mk 1 Racing Group 2 last week and doing it was quit a pain though it looks good. But for me it´s too much Scale Modeling it would simply be a shame to hit something with it. I´m glad when my Subaru Impreza 2004 arrives tomorow It´ll be much simpler and more forgiving than the ABS body. But none the less great Job on your part and Yes it´s such a beatiful Kit. Enjoy it and keep doing your stuff as you do it.
Hi Yardley and thanks for the great comment as always! I'm glad you approve of the 037 but I know you love your VW's!!! That Golf sounds awesome! Yes the Lexan bodies are far more forgiving, I hope you enjoy your new Subaru Impreza. I appreciate your kind words and I will try my best to keep the content coming. Cheers! 😎🙏👍
Wery accurate work! Thanks for sharing. Ciao Nanni
Many thanks, Nanni! I know how much you like this model, too! Cheers my friend! 😎👌👍
@@MarkBryanRC Yes! I love it. It reminds the past racing Italian victories
I love Italian cars too my friend!
😎👍it’s just a awesome body well done
Hey Chris, thanks a bunch, mate! Always appreciated! 🙏🤗👍
Well done 👍 Absolutely gorgeous 🤩
Thanks so much 😊✌👍
I have one of these in my stash as well to build 1 of these days. Gorgeous looking car for sure. Did you try to apply any heat to the decals to make them conform around the side of the car? If you are using the Tamiya black out of the little jar try mixing in a bit of their paint thinner. Will go down nice and smooth with no brush lines. Tamiya acrylic paints has a high density of pigments and really should be thinned. You're model came out absolutely perfect!! Cheers!!
Hello Alex and thanks for the great comment! 👍 You will enjoy building this one my friend! Yes I did use a little heat on the decals that curved around the tighter angles, it did help them conform. 😉 Thanks for the paint 🎨 tip there! Best wishes from Mark 👊 😎👍
Boy that came out beautifully Mark; well done my friend!👍😊
I’d love to get one of these but I don’t think I’d be able to get those decal stripes down like you’ve perfectly done!
Many thanks Jeremy, I appreciate that! It sure is a fiddly body to get right but with a little time and patience I'm sure you'd get there! Have a great week ahead, brother! 😎👍
Great work and there was a lot of it. I do love the body so much but would never buy one as the paint and stickers too much to get right. Does look a little too good to use.
Hi Mal and thanks for the kind words. Yeah, it's a lot of work to get this one looking right. And I agree, I'm worried about spoiling this one in a roll over or crash. She will be driven carefully! All the best, mate! 😎👍
Great work dude looks awesome Mark 😊😊😃👍
Thank you dude, your comments are always a pleasure! Take care mate. Cheers! 😎🙏👍
Good looking car
Got to agree with that, James! Cheers! 😎👍
Great! I enjoyed watching it 🤩
Awesome! Thank you! 😎👌👍
Great job mate 👌👍
Thank you Mark! Cheers! 😎👊👍
Hi Mark ,
That looks very good mate, but it is a nightmare to build, isnt it?
But overall a great car💪💪
Greetings Fons 👍
Hi Fons and great to read you again, it's been a while, I hope you are doing well!
You got that right mate, it's a tricky body to get right!
Glad you liked it, yeah it's a smashing rally car!
Greetings from Mark! 😎👌👍
Thats one sexy shell Mark, far to fiddly for me 😂 but think i may have to give it ago one day 😁
Hi Richard, yep it's sexy alright! Any definitely a fiddly job and then some! I hope you do give it a go because it's worth the effort in the end. All the best! 😎👍
