Wheelie wanted one of these!!
Many, many years ago I went to my LHS hoping to buy a Wild Willy. But they'd sold out so I bought a Willy's Wheeler instead. Built it, loved the way it looked and the mad fun of running it, thrashed it to death.
Coming back to the hobby a few years ago, one of the first cars I bought was a Wild Willy 2. Finding the WW2 was available gave me hope that the Wheeler would be too, but no. So I've lived in hope of a re-release ever since (and probably bored many of you to tears about it too!!).
And finally, it's here. I've been genuinely excited about the re-re ever since it was announced and the kit didn't disappoint. Yes, a little work was needed to sort some clearance issues, but nothing major.
I think this little car looks superb, just as good as the original. I like the box art but decided on something different for this one, although I hope this won't be my only one!
Hope you like it too
Cheers,
Rob

I love it! The Kure Racing decals and the matching Willy figure really make this one stand out - I hope this will be the first of many for you, too

Fantastic job! All of these Wheeler's popping up make me want to buy one. You do have quite a few little details that make clicking on each pic a joy.

May I ask from where are those wipers
IBIFTKH
Thanks for all the great comments guys
Joe_Cool, the wipers were from an accessory set (3Racing, I think) that I bought from ebay seller RacingPunk.
Barry - another one already?

Looking very good and sinister in black color! Good move from Tamiya to (re)release these.

I'm hooked on them Rob lol. At such a good price as well this other idea came up which is going to be epic if I pull it off. So far going well and will add to my showroom over the weekend

Me Too Barry, I just need more money! Though I snagged a nice original Wheeler to restore, so that should be fun.
I'll be keeping an eye on your showroom!!

It's all in the details Rob. I love the exhaust, wipers and especially the Nos bottles ...
I have got to buy another one
IBIFTKH
Thanks Col, how did I know you'd like the NOS bottles?!!
These are great fun, to drive and to make. There's so much you can do with them. I've got ideas for at least a couple more..
