These top decks are still available from Kyosho Europe. When Kyosho set up their own distribution company they bought back all the old spares from all the European distributors, which meant they now have loads of old parts which never used to be advertised. They also had plenty of very rare Turbo Scorpion and Optima parts, but a small number of 'vintage collectors' have been stockpiling them (one supposed collector has bought the remaining 47 optima chain guards!) so some bits are once again hard to get hold of.
You can order them from Time Tunnel Models in the UK.

Those windtunnel bodies sold by Murdock R/C are old Bolink shells, Dahms bodies were bought out by Vansinvent. Another alternative is Customworks, who still make a full range of oval bodies.
