i want to say that it looks like my mirage ss body, but it's too narrow. the turbo mirage and mirage ss were a bit wide. but the way the rear piece is kicked up lets me to believe it's something else than rcps. hot bodies, twister, protoform, others??

Strange that this is still being debated. 100% the body in the magazine article is a "First Generation" RCPS Turbo Mirage Body.

Even without comparing it to an uncut body, the dead give aways are the indentation down the centre of the nose of the body, the tapered edge around the front of the sidepod, the kick-up on the rear of the sidepod, shape of the window area and the small indentation just behind the cockpit (where the Stealth Transmission sticker is).

The way the rear piece looks kicked up is just an illusion as the body in the article was cut out to give a "duck tale" style effect.
