Is there any reason this should have been expected? Is there a plane coming next? How about a boat? If they do a hovercraft, I am so getting one! Do I have to buy the truck to make sure the hovercraft project goes forward?

This is a vintage 1987 Kyosho Ultima loaded with all the popular upgrades from the 1980s. Getting a fully vintage modified Kyosho Ultima in pristine condition was a rare find. Consider this an authentic "World Spec" Ultima driven by Kyosho drivers (aside from the Optima body and wing) at t...

Quality was typical MCI (good, not great) so I used the paint drops decals to create masks and p...
