MCI Racing sells repro decals. They’re almost perfect. They are in Canada but they ship quickly.

It was our office printer and I honestly can't recall any details about it. Anyway, I reckon almost any color printer will do the job. I've owned at least two cheap inkjet printers and they seem okay. I have an HP laserjet printer now but it isn't color so I'll probably go to Office Max for my color...

The body is in excellent shape, I thought it was going to be a throw away. With a wing it’ll look pretty good. Not sure what model it is though.

I'll look in to the gloss decal sheets for color laser printers, would like to print on the good stuff if possible. Three fried ROM chips on this Commodore SX-64, has kept me troubleshooting and researching for days now. Please tell me you're running your 3D printer with a Commodore 64... 8) 8) 8) ...

Another option for making custom decals and graphics is to use a vinyl cutter. A downside is the vinyl can be a little thicker than typical decal stock so probably not what you'll want for your small Gumout stickers. It works okay for larger one or two color decals. Since this was an unlicensed body...

The guitar sounds like something from Castlevania, cool stuff.

Speaking of castles... so many quarters spent at Aladdin's Castle playing Super Off Road... worth every penny.

A nice bit of detective work there. Thanks for posting the details. I don't recall seeing the small 506 as shown on the original box cover. FWIW, here are the decal sheet remnants from my original kit circa 1980: SS Decal sheet 1.jpg SS Decal sheet 2.jpg I don't believe a smaller version of 506 was ...

...Do you still have the box too? ... No, I'm an idiot! :roll: Sold the car and tossed the box. BITD, I didn't think any of this would become collectible or valuable. How cool would it be to have a 1:1 Scorcher to drive!! If I had Leno's money, I'd own at least one and a 1:1 Turbo Scorpion as well....

Oh wow, you've actually got yours out... I still got R.O.B. ...but he's packed away in the original box, the lil guy hasn't seen the light of day in decades.

Thanks again to @TxRx for letting me know, and L&L Models in the UK for this excellent repro body! I can't find a single fault with it.

Super Awesome!

I wonder if yours is yellowed now too, I keep mine out of the sun, but he's still turned a bit. :lol: I spent a lot of time yesterday knocking the yellow off of a vintage Apple Mac SE keyboard, used 12% peroxide hair creme out in the sun. Might do that to R.O.B. someday. That keyboard came out nice...

It's actually one of the early release Entertainment Systems made before they introduced the Deluxe Set. Contents are the same but the box art is a little different, lacks the words "Deluxe Set" since the other sets (and need to differentiate) didn't exist at the time. But, yeah, still hav...

Every time I've seen the clear tail light lenses used, they've first had to dremel the opaque faux lens from the base. It seems that Tamiya should give you blank bases (with led receptacles) for use with the clear lenses but they don't. Anyway, I think the clear lenses are a 2010 re-release addition...

Still playing with geometry but you get the idea
