I am going to hi-jack your post and give a visual element to the info. I said I was going to do this a long time ago and never got around to it. consider it a work in progress until I get all the pics.

**EDIT** I have to wait until I get home as I can't get FTP access from work.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.

let me know if there any particular pics of models you're missing, Jay. I think between a few of the members here, we have all of the various iterations!

Will do Brian. I am going to edit his post (I have the power) and insert the pics under each of the descriptions. I want to do Box and chassis, but we'll see, I don't want to make too lengthy.

no problem mrlexan .......actually "sharing" is a kind of self improvement....... :)

I do have the above cars from 834b to the latest BX 2007' in my store room (except the 870c only)........coz' I am a die-hard fans of Masami Hirosaka....... :mrgreen:

need some time to get them out for photos......... 8)

Just a thought ... do we (I really mean Jay) want to put the pics in Dual's original post? I ask (and suggest) because there was a lot of good info that was posted in that thread besides the timeline and detailed descriptions. Just thinking about having 1 post with all the info and not duplicate efforts.

I absolutely love the 93 works shell! The shape is sooo nice, I'm not sure about the ultra narrow modern cars of today by comparison, they doesn't look right to me, although I am old skool lol.. Great paint jobs there as well, well done!

lucky enough to get this MR4-BC JMRCA 2003' Special Edition from yahoo.jp recently...........:)

the shell was painted by the "Brain Speed Graphix".......so I guess this car was one of the spare cars of Yokomo Japan Team driver...........
