Born in 1970, lived Tamiya in the 80s. 100% hit it out of the park for an 80s look. Great job!!!!
1989, I’ve stripped the paint of my first car (Sonic Fighter as you may know) and repainted it. White with neon green, yellow and pink. Wasn’t a week before one of the neighbor hood kids had to have it so bad he traded me a bicycle worth about 4 times the value of the car. The paint definitely matches the era and has taken me right to that “back in the day” time period!! Mission accomplished sir!!
Great comment 😍👊🏻
Well said, and you probably made a lifetime RC Enthusiast so also well done 👍👍
My first Tamiya car. Long live the hornet! Paint looks amazing! Great choice!
Thank you 😊
WOW , that looks RAD
Excellent thanks Joe 😊👊🏻
Brilliant!! 😉👍 Pure 80s. All thats missing on that car is a mullet and some new romantic make up!!! Awesome!!👍👍
Haha fantastic comment 😊👊🏻
Can never get enough of The Hornet. Every which version. Cool job.
Excellent thanks for watching my friend 🤩👊🏻
Beautiful build! I think it rivals the box art. This would have turned heads in the 80’s. Way to lean into it, man.
Absolutely love it, I must stop watching your vids though as i'm getting an 80's Tamiya addiction developing here!
Love it!!! Very 80's. I'd rock it 100%. Very awesome scheme colours Glenn.
It's such an Icon.. It rivals the box art!
Damm....... this is awesome.
Why didn't anyone actually do this paint job more in the 80s/90s?!
The decals really suit it and wheels look great!
And DEFFO to the same on the ReRe Grasshopper. Pretty sure the gloss finish should bring it up.
That pair would be Ultimate 80s!!! (Very Jason & Kylie)
Excellent I’m glad you like it my friend 😊😊😊
I think the pair would look awsome love the neon reminds me of the cloths I wore in those days .have a great day
This is the car that got me started in rc . I had the hornet and the super hornet when I was a kid. Those were my first 2 rc cars.
That’s fantastic Charlie 😎👊🏻
Great choice to use the stock wheels. They look awesome in that neon color.
I think it's awesome. Been watching your channel for years. Love your work
Definitely better than the box art. Good show
AWESOME JOB....I'm 46 and I think I can still open that box toss the manual and build it from memory! lol Ball bearing kit, Gold Tech Motor, Rooster ESC....RIPPER!!!
Haha fantastic thanks for watching my friend 😊👊🏻
love it! always wanted a hornet as a kid (46 now lol) the netting should have been the original design in my opinion the colour really works
Looks Great!!!! Best looking original Hornet!!!
In fact... I could see a Legends Version from Tamiya.. reaally like it!!!! Look out Watanabe!!!
Excellent thanks Michael 😅👊🏻
That’s the 80s for me.looks great.the finish looks amazing 🤩
Thanks Ian I’m glad you like it my friend 😊😊😊
Who’s the thumbs down guy? Like seriously get a grip. Almost like you’re doing it on purpose or your thumb is possibly a bit too chunky? Got an idea for you. Add a link to your video and see if we can hit your videos with as much thumbs down as Glenn gets thumbs up. Anyways rant over. Love this Hornet mate. It was my first RC car, a hand me down from my uncle so very sentimental to me and to see this with a modern twist has left me wowed! The paint job is awesome suits the colours and the livery. Top work as always mate. Love your channel. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Straight back to the late 80s..day glow school socks and fraggle rock 🤣..good job mate.and ye.. double spots work for me👍🇬🇧😎
Fraggle rock 🤩🤩🤩
I’m loving it already.
Excellent thanks Jason 😊😊😊
That turned out amazing really like the neon paint, and a grasshopper next to it would just be the icing on the cake :)
I have never had a Hornet so I may have to pick one up
Great idea on the grasshopper perfect👌👏👍😀
Excellent thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
That's one of those that with first glance Im like yuk but the more I look at it the more I like it.
That said, its your car so do it up how you want to. Excellent job as always Glenn.
Thanks Dan 😊👊🏻
Looks Awesome
Definitely 80's
Thanks Mark 😊😊😊
Yeah man, looks brilliant! 😎👍 Personally, I think a Grasshopper in the same livery but fluoro orange (or green?) instead of yellow would be ace.
Fantastic I’ve actually now found a Tamiya TS neon Orange, so we could be going down that road my friend 😊😊😊
I was thinking the same. I love how this car came out and a grasshopper in a different color neon would be a perfect set.
I'm a fan of custom Hornets . I did a candy red body then had MCI do the decals in red white and blue . Painted the wheels silver . Looked straight out of 1980's America. I loved that thing .
That sounds awesome 😎
I'm loving it! Yes do the Grasshopper as well 🙂
Excellent thank you 😊
I really like it. You did a fantastic job with that build.
Thanks Brian 😊👊🏻
Sharp looking car Glen! I like the window netting.
Thank you 😊
Always a pleasure Glenn!
Thank you 😇😇😇
Glenn, Glenn what have you done are you crazy dude??? A Hornet has to be Boxart its a total classic in boxart man!!! 👌( UNTIL NOW ) BOOM!!!
Please you used the original wheels too they have a absolute classic look! and double spot lights is mustard!
Epic my friend 👏😉
Love it!
Haha now that’s a fantastic comment my friend and very very much appreciated 😍😍😍
@@TAMIYALegends 😎👍
That's the poster child for the channel 👍 just needs some CZcams decals added. Great job!!
Thank you 😇😇😇
That looks absolutely fantastic! Well done.
Thank you 😊
Wow looks really iconic 80's race car and looks as if it's going fast just standing there. Cant wait to see the grasshopper build, defo got to make that neon maybe neon green 🌈. Great vid Glenn 👍
Thanks Alex 😊👊🏻
what a wonderful design . it´s looks great
It's a mullet....business up front, party in the back! Looks awesome!
Great comment 😂😂😂
Looks great Glen I like it.
Thank you 😊
Looks amazing well done
The hornet looks great in those colors. I love it!! Never seen one that wasnt the normal colors
Excellent thanks for watching and leaving a comment Gabriel 😊👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends you’re very welcome my brother
Wonder no more Glenn… you have to do the Grasshopper🤩🤩🤩… love it 😍🤩😎
Excellent thanks Neil 😊👊🏻
Nice work. Personal touch matters. Individual. Who cares what others like! Enjoy your builds mate...
Looks great! I bought the XB special edition one prob 4.5 years ago.
If we are being completely honest Glenn, I absolutely love it!! I'm also an 80's kid, and I remember the neon quite well my friend 😁 I have a re-re Hornet, and did mine in box art, but you nailed it with the white and neon yellow mate! The Tamiya Legends decals are awesome!! Great job friend. And detailing all of the bits like the crash bars, windows, and the rear wing was brilliant 👍🏻😁
Wow thanks so much for the awesome comment my friend 😊😊😊
Looks great Glenn 👌👍 I'm pretty fussy about box art from TAMIYA but it's not always necessary. I mean it's similar to buying a clear aftermarket body shell that was not part of a kit and then try to conjure up a paint scheme. Great video presentation Glenn 👍👌
Well done Glenn I think that looks well cool. I’d be happy to play with that out on the street. I think you made it look modern and updated.. carry on with your vids mate I love em. Ps I’m not a Tamiya owner but I often think about getting one especially after I watch your vids. The Castrol Supra is the one for me if I do. I like FPVing all of my models it puts a new handle on RCing that I like..keep up the good work . Cheers...
Excellent thanks for watching and commenting Stephen 😊👋🏻
You sir are an artist! True, you're chosen canvas is the form of a 3-dimensional RC car body but you are an artist nevertheless. Yes sir, it IS better than boxart in my opinion. I think Picasso would approve. 😉
Perhaps for the Grasshopper build, use lime or neon green with white and similar stickers to your Hornet?? Anyway, whatever you come up with will be awesome, no doubt about that. 👍
Wow thanks so much for the lovely comment my friend 😊😊😊
That car looks great. I love how much effort and thought you put into these beautiful rc cars. Always fun to watch and makes me feel as excited about rc's as I did as a kid. Thanks
Hey thanks so much for the great comment my friend 😊😊😊
Just discovered ur channel whilst building my first Hornet and love those neon wheels
Wanted one bad as a kid but it was sold out so ended up with Tamiya’s Subaru Brat, the run time was so bad I didn’t use it after that summer
Great content ideas 👍🏻
Looks great, Glen!
Thank you 😊
Love it can't beat a big of 80s florescent colours, yes I did have bright pink and yellow soaks back then lol just finished a non box art one to run at revival next year in mattaljc blue white and flluro pink
Excellent thanks for leaving a comment Craig 😊👊🏻
For what it's worth, I like it. Hornet is an all time favourite, can't go wrong really. Yeah I was going to mention how cutting the window lexan out weakens the body badly, but you beat me to it.
Fantastic thanks for watching my friend 😊👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends my pleasure mate!
and yes try the same with the Hopper Glenn!😉👍 but then back to some Boxart on your next projects mate lol l can't help it l love Boxart! But on this occasion it would be awesome having the Hopper done like this too👍
Great vid again buddy.
Project neon Orange Grasshopper is now on the to do list 😅👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends 🤩👍
Mate absolutely fantastic
Love the neon... yes to future paint jobs 👍🏻 Can’t wait to see the running vids!
Excellent thanks for watching my friend 😊👊🏻
Awesome man.. my first car was the Hornet back in the day built it with my dad great times.. bought from Beatties in Birmingham with the old blue bag and Acoms :)
Haha great times my friend 😍👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends car looks great ;)
Love it
Reminds me of the fluorescent socks I had in 1983, one pink, one yellow.
Haha good times Chris 😍👊🏻
This thing is awesome Glenn.
Looks awesome. I like it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching 😊👊🏻
Nice paint job story, this car was my first rc car ever, I wanted to get the ford f-150 ranger but was no more for sale, so I did buy the hornet which is great for a beginner with stock motor, but if you push it faster the chassis will brake in some spots.
Looks great, I like the idea of doing something different. I would like to see different ideas for the Frog.
Looks amazing.do grasshopper amd frog all like that
G'day Glenn mate wow that is my favourite it's the best car you have done yet mate it's a work of art I love it. I'm inspired by you mate. Yeah do the grasshopper same 👍👍
Fantastic thanks for another awesome comment my friend 😊😊😊
Awesome man, looks great!!!!! Grass hopper as to be done with some neon green. GFJ my friend, Love It!!!!!!!
Thanks buddy 😊😊😊
Now Thats A Beast-Definitely captured the 80's Theme and can still tell its a IConIC Hornet from back in the day , Youve Done it again Glenn Working your magic and its paid off real well , twin spotlights look cool as well as the netting and doing the matching grasshopper would be just as cool, myself have bought the Black edition grasshopper 2 and the candy edition grasshoppper just to be different whether i get the standard white edition to the collection i doubt but who knows and the Fluro colors never get old and always look sharp Nice Job bud well done 🙂
Thanks so much for another great comment Andrew very much appreciated my friend 😊👊🏻
That looks brilliant, great job. If I were going fluro, and had the skills, I'd use the original stripe pattern as a basis to use fluro yellow, green, blue and pink; the marker pens many of us had in our pencil cases back in the day. Backed in white, it'd pop like nothing else.
For the grasshopper, you've got to go fluro green if you can.
Thanks as always for watching my friend 😊😊😊
My first RC car, brilliant.
Excellent thanks for watching 😊👊🏻
Great looker, ditch rear spots though, real nice job...
Looks amazing!
Looks great Glenn
Thanks Mike 😊👊🏻
Wow ! It looks amazing!
Thanks Brett 😊👊🏻
Very nice Glenn. Grass hopper go for it mate
Operation neon Orange Grasshopper is now on my friend 😊👊🏻
Looks awesome!
Looks awesome…👍👍
Great color choice!
Great job and a real 80's beauty👍
Thanks Matt 😊👊🏻
Looks great job well done it’s special 👍
Thank you 😊
It came out great, looks tight. Good move with the TL stickers, the contrast really works.
Those colours+ decals wheels +tyre writing looks just great Glenn 👌👍
Thanks Craig 😊👊🏻
Love it :). It makes me want to go flouro on my next build :)
I think you nailed it.
It reminds me of the Brawn GP F1 car from years ago.
Use NEON GREEN for the Grasshopper.
Excellent thanks for watching and leaving a comment my friend 😊👊🏻
Love it Glen.. As you know I’m a big box art fan.. this is just what we did wasn’t it back then.. It really looks great in the neon.. It just so happens the TTO2B plasma edge the family bought me for my 50th is nearly finished and I have bought 2 tins of paint from core RC… it’s the brightest neon pink I’ve ever seen!!!!. It will either look as sick as a pig or superb!!!. Seeing what you’ve done with the hornet gives me the confidence to crack on🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic Darren please email the pictures of the finished car buddy, I’d love to see it 😊😊😊
The colour/livery is perfectly fine. Its the sponsor decals I would have fiddled around with a took a bit of time to replace or put in combination with others. My eyesight is going off due to old age, and I appreciate the high vis yellow very much. Great build. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent thanks for your feedback my friend 😊👊🏻
I think the neon colours look great with white and black, it really suits the car. Orange, black and white might look good on the hopper, a bit Terra Conqueror' ish. looking fwd to seeing it run.
Thanks Tony 😊👊🏻
Love it, definitely do the grasshopper too. The only thing I would love to see and I think it would look pretty awesome and thats to paint the wheels centre's neon and leave the rims white or vice versa (2 tone wheels)
Oh now that’s an interesting idea, excellent thanks for the feedback my friend 😊👊🏻
Or paint the rims black and the centre neon.. Might look like there's no rim when it's running?
You’ll see that Hornet coming Glenn! I really like it and the Grasshopper sounds great 👍🏻 The 80s was full of awesome neon so I think it looks wicked 🙌🏻
Very nice mate, I like it 👍
That looks excellent!
Thanks Sean 😊👊🏻
I like it buddy! Reminds me of when Kyosho came out with the Raider ARR. It was black but had the in your face neon wheels and graphics.
Yeah I remember that version it looked awesome 😎
Matching grasshopper all the way Glenn!! Think I said it before but if ya it’s released that as a hornet kit I’d be placing an order ;)
Thanks for the lovely comment Andy 😊😊😊
Nailed that late 80s look! Nice job!
Thank you 😊😊😊
Very cool Glenn. That's the kind of creativity people put into the paintung of cars back in the day where I grew up. And you managed to make it look truly 80's despite all the years that have passed.
I think it looks fantastic! So much more than a Hornet now.
Thanks for the great comment Jon 😊👊🏻
Cool livery, yes i would agree to do the Grasshopper also in neon. I think green would both match the 80's and Grasshopper
Fantastic thanks for your feedback my friend 😊👊🏻
I love it! Superb
Fantastic thanks Neil 🤩👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Btw Glen I wanted to ask you, can u post a link to where do you get the custom decals that you use made?
@@neiltowsey4289
Check out the MCI Racing website Neil 😅👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Cool thanks man. And re- The Neon Grasshopper, DO IT!!!
Looks great from USA
Thank you 😊
Not being a fan of the neon colors or the color of yellow in general. I have to admit I really like what you done to this kit. Great choice of yellow. The color stands out, such an eye catcher. Thanks for sharing. PHENOMENAL JOB!
Wow thanks for the lovely comment John 🤩👊🏻
It looks great! It actually looks like a 1:1 scale off road buggy paint job from the time period. Neon, tie-dye and flashy sunglasses.. stuff of the 80's. Also would fit in with the other cars on the cover of the 1988 Car Action magazine.
Fantastic thanks for the great comment my friend 😊👊🏻
I love it. I think the retro paint is awesome and absolutely it would be killer to have a grasshopper to match.
Thanks buddy the Grasshopper is now on the to do list 😅👊🏻
Ive got a spare body for my hornet and i think i am going to do something similar with it.Looks good.
Fantastic thanks for watching buddy 😊😊😊
Nailed it. I really like it.
Thanks Neil 🤩👊🏻
