Project 200+ Livery

Project 200+ is the designation for my next RC body.

The livery will be very close to this design based on the Le Mans 787B run at Autopolis in Japan around 1995.

I have previously thought about this for my next real car also.

I am going to run sleek lights with white cover surrounds and buckets rather than black to give a more integrated effect. I am not running light buckets on this one.

There will also be a small green pinstripe surrounding the green roof and hatch with silver in between.

The Hpi Stage D RE-Amemiya style body kit has soo many parts. It's going to be a pain to assemble but it should look good when complete.

My Hpi 19" RE-30 deep offset rims will probably be gold or bronzed. Le mans car runs Volks with gold centers and chrome dish so I may leave the rim of the RE-30 Chrome first. See what happens.

If I stuff up the paint. I'll just coat in Matt Green on the outside. Rauh Welt Style

test fitting.

this is a 200mm FD3s with parts meant for the 190mm body. The front of the 200mm is 190mm so it's only the rear that may need some careful heat bending...

Gonna be cool!

I may post a trimming tutorial too.

Hpi 190mm Body Kit.

Discontinued... NOOOOOOOOOOO. I have been wanting for a long time.

BUT I found one in a local hobby store when on vacation in Australia.

Go Go Toyworld Lismore! Thanks Rodney.

Only issue is... Can I find a 190mm HPI body? or start with a 200mm for extra wideness?

Measuring up this weekend.
