Hello
My first post here so please bare with me if the pictures don't load correctly or I mess anything else up.
I have just finished by Harm SX-3 1/5 scale RC car and just thought i'd share the story and some pics with you.
,
I have always had a love of anything RC car related from as long back as I can remember and due to some unfortunate circumstances towards the end of last year I happened to come into a little bit of money that i could treat myself to something with.
I had always fancied a 1/5 scale RC car so I got busy searching online on the normal platforms Ebay Wallapop etc.
Found a Harm 1/5 scale SX-3 second hand that was in fantastic condition and the guy selling it was pretty local to me so decided to try and do a deal, a bit of back and forth and a price was agreed.
So here it is on the day i collected it
So now I needed to start work on finishing the bodyshell, I decided to paint it with Tamiya PS-23 gunmetal grey paint. I also started searching online for some Mercedes Decals, I had no idea how difficult these were going to be to find, only place I could find any was on Ebay from Singapore. The price of them was stupidly expensive for some stickers but I knew If I wanted the car to look as good as possible I had to have them.
So I got on with the jobs in hand
So with the bodyshell all painted the car is starting to come together, the white mismatched wheels though are starting to drive me crazy and the car really needs a spoiler. So off shopping again, now I could of opted for a cheap plastic spoiler but really felt the car deserved more so opted for the Carbon & alloy version.
How the cars sits now
Car is now nearly finished just a couple of small things I still want to do.
Hope you enjoy the pics thanks for looking.
Thanks
Mark
