SW-01 Midnight Pumpkin mini

[CRC505]

TAMIYA SW-01 MIDNIGHT PUMPKIN #tamiya - YouTube

When I was shopping on eBay, I found a mini-qlo clear body that looked very similar to the Ford F150.

I bought it immediately and planned to make it look like a midnight pumpkin

After getting it, I found that its wheelbase is very close to that of SW01. This is good news, but it lacks a lot of details.

So I modeled, printed the parts, and drew a cartoon version of the Midnight Pumpkin decals.

Now he looks just like the official Tamiya product

How is this soooo much better than the official Tamiya Mudmad?

Also, as you can run sand paddle tires on M chassis wheels - I wonder if that would look a little more monster truck?

Dually those truck tyres, yeah!

I've been saying since the Sw-01 first appeared, they should do all the classic shells to fit especially the Clodbuster but your Pumpkin looks great, good job.

Thanks! I would really like to see SCB ,dump truck,beetle.

However, SW01 has been on sale for so long and only has lunchbox and Mudmad body . Maybe it’s because the sales of SW01 are not particularly good?

I have seen players here install carisma 1/16 bigfoot tires on SW01. The diameter is 76mm and the width is 42mm. This looks a bit too big

Later, when I was rebuilding another SW01, I tried MN86S crawler tires and they seemed to be OK, and the price of this tire was relatively cheap.

Great work, love the attention to detail

That's what Tamiya should have done in the first place! 

Well done!
