I found these on the net. There's a great webside with lots of old Baja offroad pictures (tacksidephotos.com). The owner Jim gave me restricted permission to share a few with you guys. Great refs. Thanks again Jim! Enjoy.























Did the sand scorcher paint scheme exist for real? D*mn this looks good! M-H catalogue with the real (first) Baja Bug. Speaks for it selve. M-H catalogue with the real Scorcher kit. The hard to find 'Miller-Havens' rear deck lid. At the German Tamiya Fair. German catalog from 1977: real scorcher back lid. Same catalog: hard to find rear deck. Probably these are owned by true Tamiya fans !!!

Superb!!. Do you think the MH kit was the 'real' Scorcher ?

For the rear deck I'm sure. There is no other brand that made these. Maybe repro's... . The front of the Scorcher is a straight fender, the ones of the MH kit are slightly cut upwards so I think Tamiya was inspired by a model which used different parts or designed a scale car with mixed inspiration.
