Re: Sick new Tamiya Hornet release
Was the Hornet's body always lexan? Or is it only the Super Hornet that had an ABS body?Winger wrote:Coelacanth wrote:Pink, purple & black & white polka-dots...maybe it could've been cooler to just look like a real hornet, with yellow & black hornet stripes, yellow tires & black wheels?
I second this idea...it looks like it has the original black tires so he wouldn't have to buy that.

Re: Sick new Tamiya Hornet release
Just saw on Tamiyaclub that it apparently includes some more options. I already spotted the red alloy wheel nuts, and the box says it includes white wheels and black tires and additional stickers.

Re: Sick new Tamiya Hornet release
That was the first thing I noticed. Why include both?Winger wrote:Coelacanth wrote:Pink, purple & black & white polka-dots...maybe it could've been cooler to just look like a real hornet, with yellow & black hornet stripes, yellow tires & black wheels?

Re: Sick new Tamiya Hornet release
Shocking! It makes it look like some sort of cheap nasty copy that you would find at a Sunday market! I'd expect it to run of AA batteries! ![Surprised :o](./images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif)

I think its seriously wicked. Have done since it was leaked, its Japanese quirk at its best, and i applaud Tamiya for making it.

Re: Sick new Tamiya Hornet release
Do ya think Jun Watanabe might be a fan of Randy Rhoads? lol
If anyone's interested in how it came to look like it did, check the guys website.

Personally I think I'll pass on the matching shoes, but he does have a bit where he shows his build of the car:
http://www.junwatanabe.jp/rc/
He has some interesting ideas and to me that's always been the fun thing about painting bodies. Now we just need a Pokemon Sand Scorcher and a Hello Kitty Clodbuster
.
Actually in all seriousness, this has inspired me to start painting my own bodies again, I just need to find the space.

Wait, the RTR version comes with a pink and purple transmitter?
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Edit: Okay, so this car kinda interested me because of its weirdness, but at the prices it goes for on Ebay it's not worth it. I can get 2.5 Rising Fighters (aka the Grasshopper III) for the price of one polka-dot-mobile...

Re: Sick new Tamiya Hornet release
I think Lady Gaga called Tamiya, she wants her look back...or was it Katy Perry? Or Hello Kitty? ![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

I'm still trying to get over the "SICK"
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
It kind of brings the meaning of the word back full circle...
Seriously, to each his own I guess.
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
The black wheels & crazy colors are ok to live with...but those pink tires are as ass-ugly as a Proline Bulldog...

Re: Sick new Tamiya Hornet release
I picked up a set of the black wheels to use on a future project, but that's about all I could see myself using from this kit...
Maybe if my g/f ever wants me to build her a car I'll pick one of these up.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
