What you see isn’t always what you think it is!!

One of the things I love about Tamiya is the ability to chop and change things around. Here are some recent projects, see if you can identify the mash ups?? 
One of them is almost correct 🤐

I can tell that your gold/brown Brat is an MF-01X underneath with CC wheels. I want to say that your brown truck is some sort of ORV chassis going off the wheels.

[Busdriver]

A good start. The bronze Brat is indeed on an MF-01x though the wheels are actually 1.5 inch Mickey Thompson wheels and tyres and the bronze Ranger clone body is on a Brat chassis with Scorcher rear wheels and tyres. Only two to go?

if you’ve got some please add pictures?

Okay, I'll have a go.

Based on the seemingly decent ground clearance, lack of visible chassis bits sticking out below the body, and apparently not quite standard body post locations, I think that the blue Brat might have a CC-01 under it?

XV-01T? I thought I might have seen something poking out under the front bumper, but I decided it was part of the body.

The last letters right the other two are a bit too close to the end of the alphabet. The wheels, not the tyres were I think specific to this model, at least I’ve never seen them on anything else

Hmm TA02T?

Is the blue/white truck #805 on a SRB chassis?

Ah. TT-02T Sandshaker! Although I guess you dyed or painted the wheels?

[Busdriver]

We’re getting close now. The Blackfoot body is sitting on a re re scorcher chassis with Brat wheels and tyres. As for the other one you are one letter out. Even the numbers are right???

Got it, yes the wheels are sprayed.

WR01 with GF01 wheels?

[moffman]

What ever they are they look really good! especially the rangers! but the only one I can make out is the brown Ford ranger which has the ORV frog chassis underneath?

Thanks. I think all the answers are up there now. Your sort of right it’s a a Blackfoot body that’s had Ford emblems added on a Brat chassis

I’m pretty sure these are nicknamed ‘Bratfeet’ or ‘Bratfoots’ something like that anyway 😂

Quite right. Blackfoot body, Blitzer chassis. Wheels and tires are from a Mad Bull, which of course appear on other models too.
