Full of so many childhood memories


model  58489:  Avante 2011    [ click here for more Avante 2011s ]
status  NIB
date entered  20/06/2011 18:19:04
description  Way back in 1988 when this kit was first released I was just 16. I remember looking at it in the local Beatties dreaming about owning one.

I have been contemplating restoring an Avante to go with my Egress for some time and then a proper Avante re-release came along, so obviously had to have one in my collection. Imported from Japan with my recent Mclaren MP4-24 and a load of Mad Bison parts that have been sourced for me some of which were the last that Tamiya Japan had.

a small prayer: 'dear God almighty we humbly beseech thee that we thank you for all Tamiyas that you have bestowed upon us,. but humbly ask that you smite ALL IDIOTS THAST CONSTANTLY POST PICS OF NIB'S THAT WE'VE ALL SEEN 30,000 TIMES ALREADY!'......Amen
