HDY fit a Sand Scorcher body to a Super Champ Chassis?
junkmunki replied to Grumpy pants's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
Ive not done it with a Sand Scorcher, but i did the Subaru Brat conversion. I found that the original Sand scorcher body pin, was a tight interference fit on top of the Super Champ mount, so i pressed it on. I didnt need to fix it in any other way. J -
I have always been a bit reluctant to build my vintage body sets, because when they are gone, that is it, but when i restored my vintage Opel Ascona, i didn't have another body use, so i opened my vintage set. I spent ages getting the paint just right, and getting the decals as good as i could. Then after all the good work, i pressed a bit to hard when screwing the body mount onto the roof, and promptly cracked it! I have not seen another original body set since. Not my finest hour. J

What colour is the Lamborghini Countach?
junkmunki replied to junkmunki's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
So what would be the closest spray colour to the blue car that i could use for box art? Tamiya dont seem to have anything like it in their range. Thanks for the info. J -
PS 63 is the closest Tamiya PS paint to the original Gulf blue. The orange is PS 7. J

I know exectly what that is like, i had Bells for about 4 months a few years ago. I was jokingly known by my friends as 2 face (after the Batman character) because if you sat on my left, i was animated, but on my right i had no facial movements at all. After a course of steroids, i did regain facial movement, but it was an ordeal just doing the basics like cleaning my teeth etc. One thing i did find, was if you wear an eye patch over the affected eye while you are doing stuff that requires focus, the other eye will compensate. It will stop you getting blurred or double vision when working close up. Stick with it, and i hope you recover soon. J

What colour is the Lamborghini Countach?
junkmunki replied to junkmunki's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
The box art car is quite a dark colour, whereas the one that i painted Tamiya French blue, is too light. TC member Purple ob has one which is painted the right colour. I've reached out to him to see if he can help. J -
Can anybody tell me what colour the box art is on the 58005 Lamborghini Countach? The listed paint in the manual is not correct, but i have seen a few members on TC that have got the colour right. The real Walter Wolf car was painted in Bugatti blue, but i cant find it anywhere. Any suggestions would be appreciated. J

In case you haven't found anything yet, give Allen a jingle. He might be able to help. Send him a note at trxgreen@outlook.com Ive seen this email address come up in the scammers list before. Stay alert. J

Vintage Coilover shock conversion kits
junkmunki replied to junkmunki's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
The second kit is from Team CRB, and has a website address at the bottom of the sheet, so its a lot newer. Its for the SRB chassis cars, and converts the original shocks to thicker rods, and adjustable springs. J -
While searching through my spares drawers, i found a couple of vintage coilover shock absorber conversion kits. This one is from SRM racing models, and was for the ORV chassis cars such as the Frog. SRM racing was a shop in fareham, but closed down in the early 90s, so i would guess this kit is from the late 80s. Has anyone used this kit, and did it improve the cars handling? J

Hi Jonboy, I have a bunch of SRB chassis parts and i think a couple of gearboxes. Let me have a look and see. Will DM with pictures over the weekend. J
