- After three days of work, it's finally done! What do you think?
This body set has been one I have been looking forward to. Tamiya really does make the best polycarbonate RC bodies and this is no exception. The scale and detail levels are lovely but the big question is, what chassis to put this beauty on?

I could never drive that after all that work. Amazing work.
I'm not just saying this that is one of the best painted bodies i've seen in a long time.
Ordered this yesterday,I will not be able to do this justice after seeing yours, think I will have to send you my body shell to paint,wot a great job 😂
I’m on quite a few RC groups on Facebook and this is the first time I’ve seen anyone paint and share this amazing shell!!! Came out brilliantly…but then I shouldn’t expect anything less when seeing your ‘back catalogue’
#MichaelAngeloOfTheRCWorld
Thank you, that’s most kind 🙏🏻
When you showed the first few shots of the RC car I thought that was just part of the footage of the real one!
Done an amazing job there. I wish they would use magnetic body posts just for that extra realism and lights because I'm greedy 😂
Yes I agree with you on that one.
@@RCKickschannel and laser cut decals of course 😂
Also my first thoughts🤣 Many Tamiya Bodies will go to the shelf so magnets would be much better👍
Hahahaa.!! 👍 👍 👍
You did a fantastic job on the body. You have a lot of patience. Your explanation of the choices you made and where the decals are a pain will help those who build one. Keep up the good work.
Wow, great work, looks really hard, imo you should leave it like that without race stickers
Awesome,, a lot of hard work there mate, Beautiful!
Your paint job is a statement. BRAVO!!
You talked about a sticker on the rear wing.
How about a small RC Kicks decal in a dark carbon fiber on the rear wing? Subdued, understated just visible against the black wing. Epic job on that body. You can stop being nervous and calling yourself a amateur on the bodywork now. You'll still have good days and bad in the "booth" but you have arrived.
You have outdone yourself...again!
Simply stunning! You did an amazing job on it.
Well I don't know how you did it but you've managed to make a Mclaren actually look good, great work
Just want to commend you on a really nice paintjob(with stickering etc). Also, going with the copper instead of a garish lime green, top choise. It looks a lot better than the bland box art too. Top job.
OMG !!!!!
Such a piece of RC art, you did a gorgeous modellism on It. It's stunning!! love the Senna, McLaren absolutelly nailed this engineering Marvel. Your TT02 is inspiring again🤟🏁
looks amazing! Deffo a shelf queen there.
100% a drive in a nice flat open area on a sunny day kind of body lol
Beautiful. What à nighntmare those stickers 😁
Ultra awesome, you out did yourself Gav.
Thank you Kash, that’s extremely kind.
Looks absolutely sick!! Since work wow 👌👍👏🏼
Damn that paint job came out amazing! Great work
Woooow Gavin, you've really been and done an amazing job, just leave it as it is, she's perfect 😍❤️
Great job! My daughter is a massive McLaren fan and now I’ve seen one built up I decided to order one. Just getting back in to RC so may leave it a little while until I brush up my spraying & masking skills a little
Man, that looks sweeeeeeeeeet...so much so that I've GOT to get one (not the TT-02 kit, just the complete body package (once available, which is supposedly next month)).
Regarding your "separate" carbon fiber idea, you added an image in the lower right corner...but, forgot to include the Tamiya part number. So, to help anyone interested in trying this, know that Tamiya actually has several options...and, here are the part numbers:
12679 - Carbon Pattern Decal Set, Plain Weave/Fine
12680 - Carbon Pattern Decal Set, Plain Weave/Extra Fine
12681 - Carbon Pattern Decal Set, Twill Weave/Fine
12682 - Carbon Pattern Decal Set, Twill Weave/Extra Fine
All sheets are 130x190mm
Great work!
I ‘ve been waiting for this video. Nice color!! Perfect.
FANTASTIC!!!
Looks Great 🤩
Thanks 🙏🏻 👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful work! Job well done!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome RC body!
You smashed it on this shell mate. Looks great
Superb colour much better than white, inside you could always paint the driver with a yellow helmet as senna had ??👍👍
That looks epic 🤩
Very nice! I like the paint job and your perseverance throughout the build, masking, painting, and stickers. I stayed away from kits that have many stickers after building the Buggyra Fat Fox race truck lol. 🚚 Nice job Kicks!
Thanks. Respect to anyone that does a Fat Fox box art, it’s another challenging one to do well.
Well done Gavin. Another body for me to admire in others collections. This is so far beyond my abilities that I would not dare even attempt it.
It was a challenge that’s for sure.
Amazing work my friend ' amazing
Thank you!
Really nice paint job but I agree the wheels need painting or changing
That is a real stunner Gavin! I think this body is well above my pay grade ha ha. If it looks a quarter as good as yours I’ll be happy 😃 top job one of the best sports car bodys ive seen well done
Thanks Andy, thats most kind.
Looks really good. Also looks like a pain lol. I just did the Amg tt02 kit and it was fun but masking was def a pain couldn’t imagine this one lol
WOW that's a great job!
Thank you!
@@RCKickschannel I brought a GT40 body just because I love the way it looks but I have no idea how to complete it well I have an idea but I don't think I can make it look nice being that I have never painted a body. Financially strapped right now what would be a good drivetrain in the future?
Be still my beating heart.!!!
Awesome video! Just wish I had the skill and patience to produce such a master piece.......I'm struggling with just a blooming Monster Beetle and can't comprehend being able to do something like this!
It’s just taking your time and making mistakes until you find little ways that work. I’m still struggling with painting drivers myself.
Suck a beautiful car!! Nice work Gav. Need some nice wheels on it.
Staggered would look trick
Yes I agree
Soooo nice🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Thanks Paul
That body needs to be sitting on something more exotic than a TT02, I was thinking a TB-03R maybe lol
TC-01 or TA08 Pro?
I’m looking into going full out on this model with lights etc.. What cockpits are available not sure what to look for ?
Beautiful job Gav! Whenever I have 2 pieces of masking tape overlapping I get a little sliver of paint bleeding underneath, no matter how well I've rubbed it down. How do you stop that from happening?
Yes it does happen and can be a real pain when it’s a colour that doesn’t show up until you paint the second colour. Sometimes you can use a clear plastic bag and cut it open to put over the top and stick down as a second layer after the tape. If I get any ghosting I remove it with Tamiya’s polycarbonate clearer bit sometimes you can miss it. If that happens I cut back the area and then blow it back in.
This is an add-on to my original comment...but, instead of replying to my own/original comment, I felt this should be posted separately.
Originally, I was going to put this body on my competition-upgraded TT-02 chassis...but, since Gavin "suggested" the TC-01 chassis as a 'compliment' to the McLaren body, I am now "specing out" a full-on TC-01 build parts list (mostly Tamiya Hop-Up, but will see what else is available, such as parts from Yeah Racing, FasTrax, etc). However, as I haven't yet purchased the TC-01, I'm interested in knowing what other competitive, but relatively inexpensive, Tamiya chassis kits people would suggest/recommend. Not looking to build a "world class" race vehicles...looking more to build something that can definitely "keep up", is still fun to drive, and for which the build-up would be on the relatively-inexpensive side (ie. same approximate price range as a fully hopped-up TC-01 or TT-02). Suggestions?
A few to look at: www.rcjaz.co.uk/tamiya-onroad-car-kit-trf-chassis-c-4472_82_289_2410.html
@@RCKickschannel Thanks...tho, I think 30 additional 'options' is more than "a few"...lol. Guess I have a LOT of researching to do. 🤙🏼
Remember when your Grandma said "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything."
Yeah.
( )
Gav, I'm probably being a bit dense here, but beat with me. After spraying the black, did you mask it, or just spray it over with the copper?
Looks amazing.. even better without the body clips
100% it would but these are precut
@@RCKickschannel yeah Just a shame as you said be nice with magnets or clips to look more scale..
What colour is this please and what colour did you back it with
Great channel, may I ask what you backed the copper colour with please ?
White I think it was.
@@RCKickschannel thanks for the reply👍
Keep up the great work.
Which cockpit was it you used?
Rally car
@@RCKickschannel is that the Tamiya rally car set #54491 ???
@@colinmountford-smith4403 That will work but the single driver one I have is the 54157
Would you be able to do this work on my Tamiya rc model Senna?
Sorry I don’t paint or build cars for people. All my time is taken up making content for the channel.
It's scary because there are so many stickers.
U cut "WHOLES" In that body!! WHY?? It does look really good though. And can't wait to see the driver installed 👍
No I didn’t Brian, it came like that
What is the maximum speed ?
That’s not how RC works as you can fit different motor power and gearing that change the speed. A TT02 chassis will do 30-55mph max ish
I have just ordered this body and I do not understand why you cant just mask the black parts and do it last? It seems like far less work. Could you please enlighten me before I get it?
Have you got your own 3d printer Gav?
No unfortunately not. I really want a resin printer but I don’t have a work shop so the fumes would be an issue plus space is super limited.
the detail line you've added at the back, it's a mould line, not a shutline on the car. Senna doesn't have an opening engine cover
100% correct Darren, I did it as it looks like a rear clam and it hides the line
@@RCKickschannel Reading this back I think maybe I was a bit picky considering the amazing job you did on the detail of this kit! Those mould lines are a bit annoying so I can see why you did it. I have some of that detailing tape myself, 0.3 mm and it always looks a bit too 'harsh'. Shame they can't 'feather' the edges or make it slightly transparent.
@@darrenwheatley6763 Yes a faded edge tape would be great
@@RCKickschannel definitely agree with you on the windscreen wiper thing. 3d detail in 2d stickers rarely works though those blue fins in the bumper aren't so bad
@@darrenwheatley6763 I did think about removing the blue from the sticker but that kind of works OK. Other 3D things really just don’t so it’s better to leave them out so people can add them from aftermarket offerings.
Would this be a good first rc build? 😕
Chassis 100% yes, body No way.
dam tamiya and there wrong offset wheels , 2 mm that's all I'm asking. can't stand it when the wheels sit inside the shell. is there enough axel stub to get a 7mm wide hex on there.
Yes you can get longer hub axles but I find MST adjustable offset rims work even better as you can dial the offset to exactly what you want.
That's alot of tape...Have you considered liquid mask..?
Yes, but when you factor in drying time and two coats, by the time it’s dry I’m done with the tape. Obviously some paint jobs are impossible to do with tape.
