Hi TC'ers! I'm playing with an idea to turn my NIB Comical Grasshopper into a Comical Madcap tribute, of sorts... I have a brand-new Comical Grasshopper that I was considering building up in Blockhead Motors style. Then I had the idea of painting it in Madcap colours and source some reproduction decals from MCI. The Grasshopper body doesn’t have a separate wing like the Madcap so I’m looking at other options. The Hornet and Frog are a different style to the Madcap buggy. However, the Comical Avante isn’t too far of the curved style of the Madcap. I can get a clear CB Avante body. I will need to check the dimensions of the wing decal, “Never Give Up!” in case the CB wings are smaller. I think I can make the rest work though. I’m just not sure if it will fit the CB Grasshopper chassis. Has anyone out there got a Comical Avante and Comical Grasshopper they can swap bodies with? Any thoughts on my Comical Madcap idea? The likelihood of a re-release is slim. I think the Super Astute has taken that 2WD re-re spot. Thanks!
