Shelf Queen


model  58034:  Super Champ    [ click here for more Super Champs ]
status  Restored
date entered  08/05/2010 12:22:16
description  This is about my 3rd Resto on the Super Champ, but now fully mint (body). I also got a new chassis for this shelf queen collection member. Perhaps the Super Champ is not as legendary as RR & SS or so [..], but I love it! I think the body has a beautiful, dynamic design if you look from specific perspectives (which I tried to show on my pic's..) but also, this model has very nice driving characteristics, smooth and effective...Anyway, before I'll leave for Japan (Hobby Show Shizuoka as well... ) I thought to finish this project!

Cracking job and i love the shade of Blue. Those repro decals look really good too, excellent job. The best of the SRB's imo although i know some don't class it as such. Will it be re issued? I hope so

Super great resto. looks soo good! Wish mine looked like this, hopefulle it will someday.

Wow, great to read your very nice comments , I'll appreciate a lot! Yes (@casethejoint), it's done mainly with repro decals from TC. But NGK & ACCEL stickers I've had some originals... And yes, Japan is always worth to go, been there 3 years ago already (Tamiya HQ etc....)! Again, BIG THX for your impressions!

Looks absolutely perfect!! Working on these is great fun as they have quite a few improvements compared to the SS/RR. The body is a bit too fragile to use as a runner though.

Very nice! I've become a fan of the SC too recently. Are your decals repro's ?
