Hello and welcome to Part 3 of my build guide for the awesome Tamiya Super Clod Buster. Today we get the bodywork finished! This part covers the completion of all steps in the extra instruction guide for the Gray Edition Super Clodbuster, and yes, as it's the special edition I will be following the box-art exactly!
So I flat the hard ABS body with fine grade wet-and-dry paper and spray on 3 coats of Tamiya Gunship Grey (TS-48). The other plastic parts get a coating of matte black. I then take you through the paint detailing and the fitting of the decals or stickers and attaching all the accessories.
I hope you find this guide useful and if you have any questions please feel free to ask in the comments section.
A massive shout-out to the ever-generous RC Elf for gifting this incredible RC Monster Truck!
