The One!
If I had to pick a favourite Tamiya, this would probably be the one. I had one when I was a kid - it took a l-o-n-g time to save up for the kit! It was far more complex than anything I'd built before and I loved the details and just the way it looks. And the way it ran! I bashed it to death but had an awesome time with it.
This one has also taken time to put together, and some luck too. I bought the car a couple of years ago - the chassis was pretty good but the body was rough. Then late last year a friend gave me an unused, unpainted body. Yup, he GAVE me a vintage Wheeler body!! I was absolutely blown away by his generosity!
So I've taken my time because I wanted to do this as well as I possibly could, and here's the result. I'm so happy with it - just looking at it makes me grin!
Hope you like it!
Cheers,
Rob

Stunning and where I think some folks opinion of the re re is not as keen as the original, I am happy to have added a RE RE to my stable of projects to do, with a twist as usual and I think I want to run mine gently as well. Wish me luck.

Thanks guys
Crash, good luck! I'm a big fan of the re-release, great fun to build and run and I think they capture a lot of the spirit of the original. I think you'll enjoy yours.
Philippe, thank you my friend. I couldn't have completed this without your help, and you know how much this one means to me.
