GeeWings 2830 Posted January 22, 2022 @Tgrif very nice! My Egress was my first build when I got back in to Tamiya late last year. It’s such a great build, don’t think anything else will compare. I went a bit away from Box Art though 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love an Egress but I think I'd be too scared to run it 😬 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine gets driven gently (mostly). I’m only protective because it’s hard to get parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The blue parts are super clod buster f parts about £8 I'm not sure In $11? (ish) that give it a true box art look and original 1989 look👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've not had a chance to work on my Egress yet.. but it's up next on the list after I finish the XR311. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I've got a brain like a sieve can't even remember what I did yesterday) did tamiya re-release the xr311? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Willy iine 18806 Posted February 12, 2022 @Tgrif So how far are you on your Egress? I got the body cut on mine today. I was wondering.. do you folks paint the bottom tray black or leave it clear? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I paint mine black but the Tamiya Guide Book inner cover showing the exploded parts layout of the Egress (Tamiya tended to do this for every top-of-the-line vehicle for that particular year) appears to have it painted smoke. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
