Ok everyone - it's nearing the end of the month - let's see some cool RC builds!

This Group C chassis is by Edgar A Delgado and sports a killer Lowenbrau livery! A little extra detail to the wheels and tires really makes them pop!

Great job!

One of our favorite parts of scale modeling is seeing the tiny details come together - interior trim, engine parts, cargo areas, decals.

What’s your favorite part of the build process?

Brake setup on your Mini 4WD car can be the difference between staying on track or flying off. Placement and material both matter.

Do you tune brakes for every track or stick with one setup (maybe using tape to tune them)?

For those that love our 1/35 scale Dinosaur Series of model kits, we've 'releasing' two new Fukui-series dinosaurs, the Fukuiraptor and the Fukuisaurus. Both of these frequented the northern coast of Japan about 120 million years ago - the Fukuiraptor being a carnivore, the Fukuisaurus a herbivore.

While these kits encourage painting, they do not require gluing thanks to our specialized Clic Loc assembly system.

Both kits include a display stand and 2D human figures for size comparison.
