EP TC's are 190mm now. These Tamiya bodies sometimes retail for 170$ plus...
Ok, this is the picture straight from the box. I have the decals and plastic parts still in the kit bag and the body still has the film over it. (Apparently window masks were never included.)
50$ plus shipping.

The 3 models which were standard for the 1st release were a toyota supra, honda prelude and Mitsubishi GTO (eclipse?). Let me konw if you want the pic of all 3. (I noticed the 'special' sticker on the box covers the exact area where the normal edition promotes the included body. Maybe the sides of the special box have similar treatment)

EDIT: I just noticed the boxart does not use all decals: there's decals for the headlights included.

Is it me or does the WB look shorter? Looks similar to the one i have, but mine was labeled the YR4 Type J. Full CF chassis and converted to Saddle pack setup.


Thats a Nice Prelude Ed. I found my Skyline body (the one i PMd you about) along w/ the decals for it. none have been cut out yet. I'll try and work on getting pics up. I have a lot of catching up to do. Looks like I might be getting layed off at the end of the week, so we'll see what develops. I've been wanting to sell my YR4, but perhaps I'll keep it.

Here's my YR-4 Special and Pro edition. The other two are MR-4TC with full carbon graphite chassis.

Here are close up shots with CROSS aluminum parts. I had to trade in my Left arm, left foot, right leg and my left hand middle index fingers for these Cross Parts. Extremely rare as I have never seen them on the Bay before...just like my silver carbon graphite chassis for the MR-4TC also.

mmm; I didn't know those red parts are Kose and they are so rare. I have most of them still somewhere, abit sun-tanned and used but fairly ok condition.
It was just a car I got as spares for the one with all the blue alloy.

These aluminum parts are not Kose. These are made by Cross. Kose is cheaper made, quality is wayyyy less. Kose is at the same level as GPM, Golden Horizon, Integy, HR etc.
