SuperChamp82 743 Posted February 11, 2023 Some eyes will (legitimately) roll, others excitedly narrow 😂 Either way - what do we think ? A short chassis / TRF 420 take on the superb 30th Ann to finally do the anniversary justice ? That leads to an ultimate Black Porsche the year after … Or a slightly better box like the 45th ? I’d honestly like to buy one more but will understandably falter if it’s a third TA02 🙄 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raman36 1656 Posted February 11, 2023 Considering that the 45th was on a re-re TA02 chassis.. I’d guess the 50th would be on a reintroduced TA05 SWB chassis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperChamp82 743 Posted February 11, 2023 Logical but is that harder / expensive if TA05 moulds aren’t around ? A SWB TA10 in 3 years’ time might work ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The aluminium bulkheads and carbon shock tower are a CNC program. The only thing the what require a mould would be the suspension arms, front bumper and body post, all of which are still in production, yet most likely it would come with 419/420 style arms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperChamp82 743 Posted February 11, 2023 Fairly confident the numbers and detail will be more complex in practice @Raman36 😇 And sadly suspect @Superluminal is right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfdogstinkus 1893 Posted February 11, 2023 I'm confused!!!!? Easily done.. I bought the 40th anniversary when I was 40,, I didn't think I was 45 yet but there's already a 45th anniversary?? And one day, I'm going to be 50???  Edit 2 add. 40 years of Tamiya?, Vs 45 years of Tamiya RC, I think I'm ok now, where did that time go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moffman 5752 Posted February 11, 2023 All the anniversary Porsche's are very good looking kits and although Porsche's aren't really my thing I do appreciate them and the tamiya kits! But the one thing that really bugs me about those kits which I've tried to overcome but just can't is why tamiya thought that it was acceptable to put a body on a chassis that just doesn't fit and then make it a premium kit? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So when you have been 40 in 2016 you should have been 45 in 2021. Or are you some kind of time traveler? Marty is it you? :-) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the end, we got the SRB. I’d disagree considering I own it 😉 and once upon a time I operated and even went to HAAS CNC training.. I promise you that the TA05 30th anniversary is a much easier proposition than an SRB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But with all the sightings the last days in NA maybe there were aliens involved. :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
