One of my FAV'S

This still remains to be one of my FAVorite vintage tamiya vehicles. This one is unrestored and near mint. This was a $85 kit back in day and seemed not to popular. I'm searching for 2 parts trees for another FAV,#8911 and 12.

Man, I thought I knew every Tamiya. That's pretty cool. What is it and when did it come out?

Yep, it's a fast attack vehicle, car #46 out of the first 100 tamiyas. Released in '84 i do believe. Parts are hard to come by.

My last two paint jobs are in my gallery:

More details on the FAV in the Tamiya thread.

Curious to get your experiences on how acrylics paint jobs last on really used vehicles as i plan to drive the FAV often.

Good news for some of us. I'm just hope it's like the original and not just the body on some new chassis. I wish they would have picked the Wild One version instead though.

The rere chassis differs than the original. There is now notch (hole) to one side on the chassis and A-12 part, that allows for the battery connector to be exposed. D parts and Roll cage are black in color (use to be tan), front damper mounts,...
