Vintage Tamiya Falcon found in the attic...
TheOtherGuy replied to TheOtherGuy's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
Yes, I have it. Are you thinking of glueing it on again? -

New question arises after "flying" the Falcon: I found the gear box broken (one screw broke out of its fixation). Is there any possibility to get a new/unbroken gear box? Are there identical ones to the ones for the Falcon which I could use? Thanks in advance guys! -

Yeah, the braces are from AMPro. For the switch I used double-sided tape... -

The pinion is 18T (counted each of them...). What do you mean with 32dp? Unfortunately the plastic gear is not really fixed (does it need to be?) but a little shaky (I can push the gear some milimeters (one or two))... nasty! Grrrrrrr............ -

Hey guys! Thanks for all your comments....the project is almost coming to an end...as you can see: But I have a real big problem! After more than 30 years, I made the new "maiden voyage" (could you really say this?)...unfortunately the motor pinion every now and then (definitely more "now" than "then") wouldn´t grab the gear. I don´t know what to do...grrr.... -

I installed the Upper and Lower Braces as well as the Rear Suspension Arms and the Bulkhead of AMPro. Everything looks fine... -

Hey guys! Thank you for all the help! Now I´m almost ready...tomorrow would be the day to "fly" the falcon again... But I definitely need a shell for the shelf, project is going on... Oh...and I got the Thorp set, hope it will work. -

Yeah, thank you! I looked around, but could not really find fitting coil springs. I think I need 80mm x 17mm x 1mm for the rear ones... I tried oil 400, but it is too hard. Next I will try is 300... -

Driver and wing are ready...but this would only be the driving shell. I will definitely paint a new one (for the shelf)...;-))
