Nice finds Basher ! I've been hunting one of these for ages , a new Primary belt cover for a Hirobo Zerda , was happy to see the bellows in the kit and even happier to find the rubber in good condition not hardened or perished , I'm tempted to ask if anybody can make a mould from it to make copy's as they are getting quite hard to find .

On that theme Dadio I just received a new in packet pair of SRM Racing one-way rollers for the Mini Mustang, along with a whole heap of other goodies. Nice Brimod stash, including a pair of Intermediate shocks, some Associated-Reedy wheel discs, a new set of absolutely spotless Proline Yoke rims (yummy), a WASP CAT slipper, a Suzuki spindle for the Yoke with a Hydradrive unit, unused RC10 undertray, Parma gear cover, loads of random wheel adapters, pair of Teamline 5deg castor blocks, and a mis-matched pair of Gisom alloys to have as spares for my other complete sets. There is also some cool paperwork on Brimod and MG products 8)

This can be used for making copies. I would check with one of the rc body suppliers. I know I would buy one. The only other option I found was on shapeways, but it’s white or black, not clear.

Nothing - absolutely nothing. USPS is being really slow right now. 2 purchases, but less than 40 miles away - I opted for shipping to maintain social distancing. One has a delivery date of 21 days from purchase, the other is just stuck as 'in transit to next facility' for a week.

But, keep posting up your guys stuff :)

I've never been a Merc fan but I recall when they campaigned this CLK in the GT series back in the late '90's and thought it made a stunning looking race car.
Here's some background info on the car: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_CLK_GTR
Tamiya once made an RC replica of this car then discontinued it at some point. When they announced in January the plan to re-release the CLK-GTR, I just had to have one.
So this one will be finished box art and built for display.

Not through the post but bought through a local eBay seller.

The guy, a former model shop owner was clearing out some old stock, I’d asked him if he’d got anything else for sale and he’d said not. After a bit of a natter, I spied these three and asked if he wanted to sell, he gave me a price I couldn’t refuse and home they came.
My usual deal is I buy at full retail, sell at trade and pay the postage both ways but I think I did ok with this one!😇😇

Its an SG or TAG Coyote , late 80's 4x4 , i think this one is actually a TAG as that's on the speedo.

Pretty pleased with it all , the tires are perfect condition and the diff kits may have the nylon crown gear but the bevelled pinion is steel :D , the bevel pinions for the diffs in the car I'm restoring are plastic so now i just have to hunt down some steel crown gears .
