Thanks Guys!
@Mongoose1983: there wasno space left in my hobbyroom-> my local hardware shop had the answer. Only 30 Eurocents a pair! Saves the tyres from cracks too!

@Tjaard: No broken legs here (same for the girls). Got my ski helmet ' tuned' with some red n blue stars -> my guardian angel...

@Tamiyaonebay: I thonk 1/10 will not fit in these IKEA showcases. They are 1/18 max..

Hi Alex. You are right, they are 1/24. Tamiya models in this scale are my favourite. The way everything fits, the detailing and the quality of the materials is unmatched.

@Tamiyoman. The RS2 indeed had a 5 cilinder engine, a 2.2 20 valve. This model was based on de S2 Avant. Porsche added wheels, brakes and other bits, but they tuned the engine from +/- 220hp to 315hp. At the time of production Porsche also produced the Mercedes 500E...

Hi Alex, great pix. I really luv your Kyosho Gallop with it's 4ws. Cool tech stuff! And thanks for letting me drive your brushless Turbo Optima. Great speed! Unfortunately my Hotshot with 02H was not exactly troublefree. The Celica on the other hand was great.
Cheers, Wouter

My all time favourite F1 racecar. I remember viewing the F1 race at Zandvoort with my dad (on TV) and seeing the P34. Great job Alex!!!

Our session started out slowly, but turned out great!! Really luv the 956, but the tamiya 934 rims are imho a worthy upgrade

Ferrari 312

Indeed, it is the 312 T4. It will be hard to find a new set of decals for your kit, I think. Good luck!
