a friend sent me this
i went on and watched it and was propper amazed at the detail -
ok so me and a friend was in our lhs last saturday and we was talking about unusual shells he might have in stock and off he went and came back with "2" 200mm suzuki escudo pikes peak body shells.
and i tell u my eyes lit up as i had always wanted one of them when they was available my mate decided to have one. and i ponderd for a while (not very long) and said i would have the other.
they are marked up at £18.99 and he said we could have them for only£10.00 and absolute bargain. anyway i plan on mounting this on my tt-01 and i need to find out the type of wheels that go with the shell and if they are still availabe also.
any help would be great
-
i will see if i can drag my son away from call of duty to sort it out for me tonight

i have just aquired this item in question and i have no use for it so if any one is interested in it please let me know
it looks complete and unused to me also comes with the instruction sheet
-
you know i was looking at that very link last night and i did'nt notice one on there.
then i just saw one from the end of the film but it when it is being towed as clint pushed it into a lake after he beat up the of duty cop so it covered in mud and what have ya.
-
i have serched the net for a hour last night trying to find a pic of the off duty police officers pick up truck in the clint eastwood film every which way but loose.
if any one knows of a link to one or has a pic just lying around it would be most apperciated.

i have just finished my first hard body (wild willy 2) and i used automotive lacquar on that with no probs
but my lunchbox was painted a few years back so i dont know how it will react as i will use the same automotive lacquar as i cant lay my hands on the tamiya lacquar
-
know i am wondering if anyone has done this as i am throwing this idea around in my mind.
cause i want to lacquar my lunchbox shell as i forgot to do this before i applyed the decals.
now what would be the outcome of this ie would the decals pull or melt.
-
hycote paints are very good as are the lacquar also. as i used the hycote clear on my wild willy 2 last week
-
a model shop in merry hill not far from me stocks humbrol as they used to keep tamiya paints but have stopped keeping them
i will keep them in mind as i have asked my lhs saturday to price up a case (6) of french blue from tamiya for me so i will wait for the reply from them first.
and as for the red and yellow allternative i aint quite took to that colour scheme yet
-
does any one know where i can gat a few cans of french blue for either the buggy champ or the sand scorcher from
as i can't locate any in my lhs's
i cant beleive tamiya have'nt released the sand scorcher and not the paint to do the box art.
-
i brought the carson 2700 Hump pack from my lhs yesterday when i picked up my sand scorcher priced at £25.75 GBP will use it in either the s/s or the b/c tbh witch ever one i build first
i just gota finish off my wild willie 2 first
-
sounds like a X/B version to me
-
ok so i had a look at it yesterday and i did not come away with it as it is a typical tamiya re-release
when i opened the box their it was just thrown in with no thought to packageing what so ever
there aint even a box for the screws and engine and so on to go in. and at £170 for the car alone. i would not pay that for it.
but i still want a f-1 car so the hunt is on for a current release. my lhs does have a old ferrari f-1 in stock but i def aint a fan of them so that can stay there
any one know what is currently out there by tamiya.
-
ok so my lhs rang me on tuesday to tell me my ss as came in and they also said they a a tyrrell 6 wheeler in also
know am these any good as i have'nt seen one before so i dont know anything about them
they have'nt said a price so does any one know of the price of these as i am assuming they are a r/release.
any info greatly apprecheated.
-
i brought mine a few weks back for £249 GBP from my lhs and it's killing me not to build it as i cant find the blue(ts) paint and clear coat anywhere for it .
also i am waiting for the sand scorcher and wild willie 2 to arrive as well so i will be in heavon when i have all 3 sitting in front of me
-
my main lhs dont stock tamiya but do stock custom colour witch i have always used apart from the paint for my lunchbox and manta ray and topforce and bmw m3
but i do have 2 other hobby shops within 5 mins of each other that does stock tamiya paint but at the mo they dont have a
huge selection like they did before tamiya recalled the paint.
i will have to try them on friday to see what they have
-
the guy in my lhs recons that TS23 light blue could be the one also and a can of TS13 clear coat to finish.
-
GREAT many thanks for that
know is the blue on the side of the rough rider/buggy champ box the same blue as is on the sand scorcher??? as i am leaning towards that colour instead
-
