I just wanted to share some photos from earlier this year. I think that some of the greatest Tamiya bodyshells won't ever see a re-release, which is a shame because they are simply a wear item if you run your car. I started with the CLK GTR TGX body (because it already has lots of body post holes and it's cut out, more challenging). It looks like a simple 3 part mold allows for undercuts and elaborate front and rear clips. I tried the same thing with the 911 GT1 a few years back, but tried to do it from a single mold, it didn't work. And FWIW, if you have an uncut CLK GTR body, I'd like one. Filling the wheel arches proves problematic. *note: i have no intention of making anything but a runner copy. Inserts to fill volume, make the mold not so wasteful. Also note the body shape tries to expand, another reason to seek out an uncut body.

For sale is 1 CLK-GTR body, painted. The body appears to have never been used. Paint job is decent, some of the decals corners have raised and dust has settled underneath. Front Mercedes badge is missing / broken. Asking for $40 shipped within continental US. Shipments outside, depends on your locations. SOLD
