DL 180SX Koguchi

Here are some fresh pics of my team body, which has won the "Body of the month" contest and will be featured in a magazine.

Team "Drift Lab"

My team is now officially complete. 

My good friend Ilya, whom I taught a few "tricks", filled the spot.  He have chosen this GP sports 180SX, which I do appreciate.

You might see, that the color is slightly different. Well, I was short on Translucent orange and Semi-gloss silver, so I used whatever orange I had left and backed it with LRP chrome. 

Drift Lab Koguchi 180SX

So, after establishing my own team, I needed to make a team body as well. Lack of Tamiya PS paint in local hobby stores and an option of waiting 1 month for paint to arrive from e-bay, I decided that this body will be the team body. I even have leftovers for my teammate to finish his body.

The body is still unfinished. I left some space left for team stickers, and sponsor decals. It's serious now, I am looking for sponsors for local championships and D1-10 event in Amsterdam (for now. Malaysia and Japan events when they are confirmed).

Japan Inspired Koguchi 180SX

I am sorry for not posting anything during the championship - I simply didn't have a spare minute, and WIFI was no the strongest point of Yatabe.

Major write-off is yet to come, and in the meanwhile, I would like to share something I brought from Japan. We don't have much color choice of Tamiya PS paints in Russia, so I made a body right where color choice is perfect - Japan.

 Only 2,5 days took me to make this body, so the paint job is, to be honest, is the worst i have ever done. But who cares, when it has 10 signatures of D1 drivers, Manabu Suzuki signature, and the manager of "team Suzuki" brand. This is much more important to me.

Kumakubo, Ueno, Taniguchi, Saito, Kawabata, Orido, Shinmi, Tokita, Nomura and 1 more signature, that I can not identify at the moment.

This, as a "Japanese inspired body", should have proper battle stickers and a big wing to spice things up. At this point I plan to stop the bodywork and get into hardware upgrades, modifying and setting.
