Haha never thought of that, but I did let it dry. We are having great weather at the moment so it dried quite quickly.

Looking very good! I run out of patience when it comes to painting. I always thinks it's "dry enough" and start putting things together. Something always ends up with a thumb print smooshed into it somewhere.lol

Sweet build. You say that this is your first go at anything RC..... Well you are doing an outstanding job.

I too am always impatient with watching paint dry and usually assembling with tacky paint. LOL I like the idea that it helps the tires stick to the rims.

Yes. Not too difficult but it is time consuming! It's always those little things that double the length of time in a project. Well worth doing though!

Yes it seems that way, all the bigger stuff went smoothly and quick, these little details just eat time. But it will be worth it, I'm pleased so far and I think that's the most important thing.
