The Tamiya Sand Scorcher is done. It's rather nice to have finished a build in six weeks, rather than ten months like the last one! And more importantly, I get to have a little juvenile fun with this one now that it's built!

| Looking good. |
I'm happy with how the Sand Scorcher has come out. The decals replicating the original 1979 decals look good, I love the heat-stained tailpipe, and even though there are some imperfections in the two-tone colour scheme where I had dramas with paint seeping under masking tape, I'm pretty happy with the final result.

| Look at the driver, and the spotless windscreen. Don't pay any attention to the masking of the blue paint... |
 |
| I'm very pleased with my personalised 1979 license plates. |
 |
| Oooh, shiny! |
 |
| Spotless. |
Putting on those final details like the two wing mirrors and the windscreen wipers was pretty damn satisfying. They're fragile, so fingers crossed they stay on. I read someone writing online about the Sand Scorcher who mentioned that these little details are "the first things to fall off when you roll your Sand Scorcher (and you will)".
I'm planning to take it to the park tomorrow and give it a trial run. Can't wait!
Cheers,
Dave
