1/10 scale Kyosho Mini from about 1988...has decals and chrome parts as well..I've never seen one before...I didn't even know that they made one way back then..is it any different than the later model Kyosho Mini?
Re: Anybody seen one of these before

Re: Anybody seen one of these before
Kyosho has used this frame quit a few times. like the Mini Stocker and I think can Am style bodies as well. I have seen this one before though. I have had a few of them myself.tizeye wrote:1/10 scale Kyosho Mini from about 1988...has decals and chrome parts as well..I've never seen one before...I didn't even know that they made one way back then..is it any different than the later model Kyosho Mini?

Re: Anybody seen one of these before
In a french mini-catalog of kyosho I found another car that used this chassis: a honda city.
(Same as Tamiyas willy's wheeler)
I think ABC hobbies or another japanese body maker still does this Honda City body for M-chassis. Looks real hot: like a steam iron on speed

Re: Anybody seen one of these before
This is not the kyosho original: can't find any pics online of that, just the kit nr.
this is actually an M-chassis body by chevron models:

The picture is from their site: http://www.chevronmodels.com/
Worth a visit if you like classic bodies
