Mokei Kagaku 2706 Posted January 30, 2015 With the 5B heritage, it's surely a good model, but the body proportions, stance and position of the wheels in the wheel wells make it look ugly. Not as ugly as the 1/5 Carson Porsche 934 with its way too long wheelbase, but still very ugly. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grastens 2795 Posted January 30, 2015 Not sure where to drive it, though... But it has a Mustang shell and is gas-powered, so close enough for those who cannot afford the real thing - kind of one of the great things about this hobby Just needs some Torq-Thrust wheels and less bug-eyed front lights (decals work, but from that front angle it looks odd). It is quite neat, nonetheless - somehow, it reminds me a little of how the TA-01 came to be from the Manta Ray. Imagine what this hobby would turn into if suddenly 1:5 touring car racing became the new thing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
