lkwanz: sorry bro, i've never disassembled the R8 before but I guess it shouldn't be too different from other Kyosho. Did u try to just pull the tire out? Thats how I disassemble some of my Kyosho.

Disassembled, repainting soon... But I got problem removing the rear engine cover. ARrrrrg!


Repainted. haha


Colour is the right one. But too much of glitters and too big too. :-(
Should have painted the side mirror some other colour right?

I wonder how well the paint sticks on the original paint.

Nope. I removed the paint using paint remover and boy I was really impressed with this new paint remover I've just bought. Didn't take picture cause things where little bit dirty and smelly. Next time will do. :-)

Then wet sand it. And it sticks like hell! This time I spray really really thick colour coat and clear coat.

Got my CS5! =D But dont know how to use. >.<

Geeamino: For this R8,have to remove the wheel cap,but i dunno how to remove..

Wow... you guys really disassemble and respray your diecast. I didn't know it's possible apart from just photoshopping...

bryant: What do you want to do first with CS5?

lkwanz: you can try using sewing pin...they're quite small. but other than that...im not sure what else you can use without actually ruining the caps.

aquila_te: Uhh just like minor editing. But nvm, i will learn in youtube. =D Dont wanna get out of the topic here. >.<

successfully modified my R8,but broke something during the process...

congrats bro on finally getting it done! Lol.

I did break something as well when trying to disassemble the E93 M3. I accidentally took out the break disk and broke the mountings for one of the rear wheels. So now it's loose...but it still displays well.

haha,i broke the brake caliper..

Lkwanz90: So after all still deciding to sell both. >.<

Mine is coming tomorrow. Stay tuned guys. =D

BryantNg : Whats your new hauls?

Modified and Swap is different. =D

wei6048866: Stay tuned here. Then you'll know. =D Most probably at night. =D
