  1. hmm, where to start, well firstly credit needs to go to @silvertriple as without his hard work, this project wouldn't be possible. So, Marui in the 80s, one of the early iconic RC manufacturers which made the first RC monster track, as with Tamiya, they had a RC catalogue with all they had to offer. Except one car in their line up never made it to market. In fact as far as I can tell, there has never been a picture of one, not even a prototype, and that is RC 9 Mitsubishi Jeep the Chassis is shared among the Big Bear, Golden Eagle and Toyota Landcruiser. I am not too sure why Marui abandoned this, especially as they clearly intended on releasing it, but either way there doesn't seem to be any examples at all, even a prototype, of which at least a couple of them must have existed. So chatting to @silvertriple, he'd been diligently 3D modelling the Mitsubishi Jeep based on what little pictures there are as well as referencing the other models this to bring it to life, and I had offered to make a sticker set for it, the idea was hatched to make a kit version as well. So this thread will track this project, with the idea of making everything so that it's just like a boxed kit you would have bought if it had been released. That includes the box, all the bags, and packaging etc inside the box and hopefully some sort of manual as well. The plan is to have the complete kit by the end of the year. The plan is to make everything too, well as much as possible. I'll of course source the nuts, bolts and screws, motor, electronics, some metal pieces, but everything else I should be able to make in some form, by either 3D printing, vac forming or general printing. I will also have to recreate all the artwork for the box, the manual (I'll borrow heavily from the Golden Eagle and Toyota Landcruiser manuals) and then make up the rest of the header cards etc based on the other models. @silvertriple 's thread where he 3D models this and the other Jeeps can be found here, its worth checking out.
  2. Initially, when I got my two 44B chassis, I was at my friend's place to get 2 cars I had a deal on since few months... The first one is a Super Wheelie (7.2V, not the early version), with a Toytoa Land Cruiser body The second one is a Big Bear, with Lunchbox wheels (unfortunately, I don't have the chance to get one with nice original tires). I wanted those cars to model the chassis. And now that I have some ideas on how to proceed for the body shell, I may even do that. I tore down the Super Wheelie this afternoon, as the project box I was using for the Ninja got free this morning. The chassis is fairly simple. There is more parts on the bodyshell than on the chassis itself :-) At the end (it was definitely very quick to get it in parts), this is the content of my box... The Big Bear should follow at some point as well...
