Looks fantastic! It's funny how painting accents, body lines, etc. can take significantly more time than an entire lexan body! Great build, thanks for sharing.
Thanks mate. Yeah it is usually much easier and quicker to paint a Polycarb' body. That said, I'm not no hurry to paint another box art Optima body! 😂👍
I like watching you talk about Rc cars and stuff. Especially tamiyas. Not many channels have to much to do with older style tamiya kits. very underrated channel.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. I still like the new stuff but I always come back to the old cars. They just bring back so many memories. I didn't have many RC's growing up but I bought all the magazines I could afford and drooled over the pictures lol. Thanks for the kind words! 👍
You are absolutely right. Tamiya rules, and I am so glad to see when someone treats older Tamiya kits with the respect they deeply deserve! Keep it up!

Nice job mate looks fantastic! Your detailed paint work is top draw too! Tamiya really did hit the nail on the head with this little truck! Super cool 😎 Cheers Mick.
Thanks mate! Thanks, there is still some little things I'm not 100% happy with but it got to the point where I just wanted it finished. I agree, Tamiya did well with this one. I've always wanted one of these because they just look so cool. Cheers mate! 👍
@@RCHobbyShed Haha....yeah that reach for perfection will drive you mad!!🤯 l have given up these days l am not as good skill wise as l was mostly to do with sight! I just do my best and 7/10 times its good enough! The other 3 times its a bloody disaster lol😉
@@mad-beerc3818 I'm hearin ya mate. Sometime you just gotta say "that'll do it!". I find I'm even struggling with the magnifier a bit too but it still helps. Getting old sucks! 😂👍
Hi Mick!! Wow that looks absolutely sick!!!! Not a fan of the truck but after watching what you did with kinda makes me like it now. Your a artist or something!!?? Brilliant buddy! Love it. Thanks
G'day Chris! Thanks mate, glad you like it. I'm not sure why I like this one so much, just always liked the look of it for some reason. Cheers mate, have a great weekend! 👍
Donnnne! 😀👍 Top job Mick!!!👌 Your paint problems is pretty much what I get every time I use TS paints, so frustrating! The spare wheel cover looks real. I think I'll throw away all my old tins of tamiya paint, imagine destroying a new body with old paint, feel sorry for you mate! The chrome paint you used on the toolbox latch looks like real chrome, nice. Thanks for sharing your video Mick👍, I didn't know Tamiya even made that kit🦘🇦🇺
Haha thanks mate! I forgot to mention, I actually used Tamiya acrylic in the airbrush for the wheel cover. I think it looks pretty good too. Could be a good idea but it's a lot of money to throw away. It actually sprayed quite well but I think it was mostly thinners coming out. It looked like I'd tipped thinners over it straight after painting 😬. That is a great chrome. I use Molotow pen refills, just tip a small amount on a piece of paper then brush it on. I've used it in the airbrush too and it worked well. It's not very hard wearing though, very easy to ruin the finish by touching it even when dry. No probs at all mate, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I don't think the ol' Paj' was too popular back in the day. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed I just looked up the molotow chrome paint, I have no idea how you even worked that out but thanks for sharing your knowledge Mick! 👍 Much appreciated mate👍
@@outbackrcaustralia4895 I think I saw it on one of the modelling channels. I've been using it for a couple of years now I think it works great. Just try not to touch it even when dry. No probs at all mate! 👍
I'm thinking I will do that with the modified Pajero I have in mind. Will need to make clear windows for it though as I think they're only available as the tinted type....Or take out the side windows I guess. 👍
Looks fantastic to me! Certainly far from what yo started with that's for sure! Definitely a beauty to add to the collection. Hope the track work is going ok and looking forward to seeing how that turns out.
Thanks Addam! Yeah when I look back to how it was I'm much happier with it. I've cleared some more trees and stuff, now to start some digging. Think I'll leave it as a blank canvas for a while and do some driving on it first before I decide on a layout. 👍
Hi Mick, hope you’re keeping well. Great looking Mitsubishi ! Came out really well and those Brat wheels and tyres really suit the car. I’ve subscribed too. Yeh! 😉😊😉 take care, keep well and all the best to you . 😊😉😊
G'day John. All good here mate, hope you are well. I much prefer the Pajero over the later Montero really just because of the wheels. I think it looks much more realistic than the monster truck wheels on the Montero. Awesome, thanks! I'm subscribed to you channel too. Cheers mate! 🙂👍
It turned out great, pity the one body was lost to bad paint, but the new body really came in to save the day! :D Would love to see a little driving clip, tho, I understand that its a bit risky to drive it, it looks so nice, and you might get the itchy trigger finger and start blasting it (its hard to stop once you start driving!). :D
Thanks! Yeah it was a shame, oh well I'm happy with it. I will give it a little run, maybe just in the back yard where I can't get too much speed up. Haha I hear ya, the old itchy trigger finger always catches me out! 😁👍
Nice one dude! Shame about the other body, sounds like it would have been sweet but great job man, looking forward to seeing it run, have a little burn up 🔥👌 great episode 👍
Thanks mate! I should have kept the other body and stripped it again, but just figured I'd spent too much time on it already. I'll give it a run soon, I think in the backyard since it's mostly clear now 😁. Thanks mate! 👍
I watched a Japanese Tamiya build video and I noticed that the guy placed his paint cans in a pot of water on the stove with a plate on top to hold them underwater. I don’t know what he was doing because everything was in Japanese but I suspect he was warming them up before using them. Maybe it’s not a bad idea to take into account the temperature of the paint. Especially on a cold day.
Awesome finish in the end there Mick , where does this end the love for the model building and collecting is awesome but the room and all the boxes can somewhat get horrendous starting to creep toward 90 kits and almost 55 needing building so i think ill have to start being very selective on what i buy and so on but i think i have an addiction as i just bought another 6 in the past month and now with lockdown over and things starting to get back in some normality i also am getting back into my RC planes as flying is one of my real passions so i could be looking for a bigger and better residents with perhaps a barn/shed he he he thanks for another aspirating video and such a great finish on the old timer truly came out tops mate :-) , cheers .
Thanks Andrew! Haha I know exactly what you mean mate. It's all fun and games, then all of a sudden you can't move without tripping over cars or having a bunch of boxes fall over. Maybe we need more lockdowns so you can get some of those builds done lol. That's great that you can get out and fly your planes again. I'd love a plane one day but I'm not good at thinking in 3D so it will likely end in heartache lol. Oh yeah, you're gonna need more space if your collection keeps growing, a shed would be cool lol. Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. 🙂👍
This looks great Mick, I've done some very crap paint jobs especially my sand scorcher. Knew I should just leave it white. Sometimes you just can't win. This looks very nice, hopefully they do a rere. I'm trying not to buy anything but I like the super Avante. There's no way I won't buy that ,just looks very different from the rest and they say it's a great running beast. I have a nice rocket 3.5 turn motor I'm thinking of using in a tt02 escort just to see how fast I can get it to go. The guy who makes the G11 part for the VQS is going to make alloy shock towers for it soon . I hear that's a great running car to. Thanks for the video mate, take care.
Thanks mate! Oh yeah, sometimes it just doesn't go well no matter what ya do. There is the Montero, released in 2011. It's still the Pajero body but on a Lunch Box chassis and has the big wheels. I wish they'd rereleased it as it was in 84. The Super Avante has me on the fence, I really can't decide if I like it or not. It's different though, no doubt about that! Haha the Escort will hammer with the 3.5 in it! Oh yeah, he messaged me the other day to tell me. Hmmm, think I will have to have me some nice gold alloy shock towers 🤤. I still haven't run my VQS yet. Since we've been out of lockdown it's poring rain most days, if it's not one thing it's another! No probs mate, hope you enjoyed it. Cheers! 👍
There are a few differences although the main difference would be that the battery mounts through the bottom of the Lunch Box, whereas the Pajero battery is mounted up the top in the rear. Other differences are steering servo angle is different, body mounts, also the shocks and shock mounts front and rear are different. 👍
For this one I used Tamiya Basic Putty, the grey stuff. It's not really ideal for filling holes as it tends to shrink but I have tubes and tubes of it lol. 👍
@@keithrx3c If you have any cracks/splits on it you might want to go with J-B Weld or Araldite. I used J-B Weld on the chassis for this Pajero and it worked very well. Very strong stuff! For drilled holes you want to fill, automotive body filler will work well. I would have used that if I didn't have so many Tamiya Putty tubes to use up. 😁👍
They re-released it as the Mitsubishi Montero Wheelie in 2011. Of course it's a little different now, using the Lunch Box chassis and the big wheels. I bought two of them not so long ago, so I think there may have been a new batch recently. Hope you're having fun building those kits! 👍

Looks great Mick , I’ve had problems with Tamiya paints if I used cans that I started and didn’t finish . Especially the ps smoke for the windows .
Thanks Eric. Yeah I should have known better. I'm thinking it must have gone bad after so long. 😥

@@RCHobbyShed OK, I've got an original Monster Beetle that needs body repairs. Might just try gluing it with CA glue and see how that works.
@@keithrx3c If you have any cracks/splits on it you might want to go with J-B Weld or Araldite. I used J-B Weld on the chassis for this Pajero and it worked very well. Very strong stuff!

Wish they would re-release it.
They re-released it as the Mitsubishi Montero Wheelie in 2011. Of course it's a little different now, using the Lunch Box chassis and the big wheels. I bought two of them not so long ago, so I think there may have been a new batch recently. Hope you're having fun building those kits! 👍
can w see a pic of the bad paint job ?
I would have added it to the video, but it's gone. After a few choice words, I binned it 😬
