Anyone interested in repro's of the SWB CAT shell? I've been asked a few times about reproductions but after the pain and 2 year wait Jeroen went through, I'd have to find someone other than Kamtec to do it.
I gave up trying to find a SWB chassis plate, let alone the shell and undertray
The rumor over at Tamiya Club was that the molds were intentionally destroyed.

I think it's unlikely you'll ever find another new shell, that got to be one of the rarest finds ever!!
Hmmmm...
Nothing
100% definite yet, but things are looking up for
all CAT owners looking for bodies, undertrays, wings and belt covers.
Hang tight.

I want to finish my SWB car but can't face cutting out the shell & spraying it without knowing I could get replacements. I'd hate myself if I cocked it up.....
I would be interested in a couple off sets.
Maybe you could inform at Anthony in australia.
I sent him my Topcat Shell a couple off years ago , and got it back in three weeks.
You could ask jason (bormac) if he wants to contact him , if he is interested.
I also sent some scans from my Topcat decals to Willy Chang to make repros off.

Wasn't exactly Jimbos fault though !
+ I got one from that run, Woo Hoo
Thanks for sticking up for me Stu
I m sure Terry just worded it wrong, I hope
Terry's right though, I had Robin make me ten XLS body and undertray moulds back in July 03. After we had sorted out a price etc he phoned me back a couple of days later to say that the undertray tool had split through the spoiler (something to do with wood and metal
) and he stopped the run at 8!.
Schumacher still got the XLS mould , in 2006 NeilD had a rerun made off 20 shells.
Only the driver was missing.
After that there were no shells made.
I still got a couple shells from that rerun.

I remember that top pic, from I believe TC...... I asked about it after I saw it posted and whomever it was told me that the mold was destroyed after that run. That is what I was told and be no means is a verified fact. I think we have discussed it before and I can't remember the latest info, if there was any.

I still think they got the mould.
I know that the cougar 2000 is broken.
Because i had a rerun made of this shell , i ordered 30 .
I only got 22 , because it broke.

As I said the wing broke, not the body thats why Neil managed to get some re runs of the body. My first set didnt have the drivers either so I would say the driver part had allready broken. Try getting the undertray and wing tho
