Very nice project, looks squeaky clean. Where did you get that Wurth tire dressing? Great job.

Nice!

The detail on the lexan is unreal!

That's a double-edged sword...more details = more PITA to do a nice paint job on it!

Forget paint, it took him nearly three years just to get the body.

That came out looking better than new!

I have an old King Cab in perfect working condition. I need to rebody it (or make it a project vehicle) and was wondering if anyone has done anything with one of these? It is just used for driving around the yard.

Thank's Dean

I love the King Cab! It was my first proper Tamiya kit.

The Kingcab body is akin to the Tamiya 959 - rare as hens teeth and they go for big bucks! They were blow molded and not vacuum formed to get the extra detail which made them really weak.

Since I am in a holding pattern for my RC10 Graphite I acquired, I have decided to start thinking about restoring a King Cab that came in the same lot.

I'd like to get it in running condition but shelf queen status is good too.

I think all I need...

Last post

Screw it. For the amount of time and outrageous prices I can get a runner for about the same as the parts I need.

Going up for sale.

Just want to see what you guys think of me trading my 2009 buggy champ used(about 20 packs)for a new built never ran tamiya nissan king cab. Does it seem like a even trade?

That's exactly the reason I was thinking :D

I started with 3 King Cab/Monster Racer chassis. The intent was to combine all 3 into the best King Cab I could make because I...
