Post by bearrickster »

So does anyone know what is the difference between this kit and the 2009 kit other than a gold plated body? their sure is a big price difference between them.

And the body isn't like the gold or metal editions, as far as I understand it's just painted and they forgot to do the roof :lol:

With all the savings I would just put that gold body on the side for shelf use, and get mr. Lexan's funco single seater lexan body for running.

Nobody else finds this disgusting? Tamiya Japan had to tell the Tamiya America to do this I would imagine. They had to get the supply of decals for the box from somewhere, and the authority to do it no?

well when I build it it will be the Blue and white Rough Rider Paint I have always wanted one like thet. but as cheap as the bodys are on Ebay I may buy a few and do up a few different ones. I cant wait until I get my Taxes back I an getting a Sand Scorcher also. and yes another one will fall victom to the bos art unless you all post up some cool body pictures for me to look at.
