I know what you mean. The original is classy but the Senna is more trashy!!

Got a few Kyosho F1 GTR's  LT NIB.

I was fortunate enough to have a tour of where they built the F1.

The P1 is a stunner too.

Anyone mention a sixth generation Chevrolet Corvette already?

Corvettes are great! I would say C1-C5 are best, after that they went downhill. I've got an old-fashioned taste!

EDIT: Not sure how marketable/profitable is for Tamiya to go with American muscle, given their Japanese market is a big chunk of their footprint. From past Tamiya releases, only the TT-01E Mustang SVT Cobra comes to mind.

For me, the C3 was the best-looking Corvette. 

True that American muscle is very much a niche market in Japan.

There's a TT-02 version that comes with a 911 GT3:

Rc Porsche 911 Gt3 (992)

 

Also an older TT-01:

Rc Porsche 911 Gt3 Cup Vip2008

 

HPI once made a Pagani Zonda body, might get lucky and find one on ebay:

There's also a Tamiya F430 body that could get you "close" to that Ferrari you posted.

I have had the GT3 Cup in the past (now sold) but I didn't know they had made the blue 992! And it seems available too.

NOT on a TA02 chassis

What chassis would you like?

I'm open to many options: TA-06 or newer (unlikely), TB-04 or newer (unlikely), XV-01TC, TT-03(?). Worst case, I would prefer to have it on a TT-02 than a TA-02 since I can't see any aspect a TA-02 being better than a TT-02 (other than nostalgia).

Better option: Release it on TA-02, but also as a separate body kit :wub:

Sadly, the recent posts on the forum about old chassis getting cracked is perhaps another reason to stay away. I understand a re-re would mean freshly manufactured plastic, but it would likely still be ABS or PC. I am also yet to see re-re part availability to match regular current releases both in price and stock levels.

That would be nice indeed

Maybe it's different on their home market (Japan) but here (Europe) stock on Tamiya parts for re-released chassis (e.g. TA-03RS) is indeed very low in quantity and very high in price point. As if they want us to get into shelf queens but not into runners...
