MY RC mini FROM HELL!!!!!
Holy crap! :impatient 
Has anyone else bought the Tamiya mini RC car?
You have to build it from scratch - what a project!
And of course I wasn't satisifed with just a red RC cooper,
I had to paint the UJ on the roof to look EXACTLY like my real mini!
Even as an artist, that had to be one of the most difficult painting
jobs I've EVER done! (LOTS of masking and spray painting from the inside!)
