Tempted as there are a few bodies I want to do and that would be a good chassis to wear one and its not a bad deal with all the hop ups.

Truck Norris 2237 Posted June 27, 2020 Paint as always, airbrush case, some upgrades for my current airbrush and new one - the strangely named Mr. Hobby "Procon Boy". GT2 wing and wheels, magnets and some more TT-02 Hop-ups including the brand new TRF Big Bore Dampers. The Mr. Hobby packaging is very Tamiya-esque with the all-caps Helvetica Condensed font, rounded corners and clear plastic window to the box. Possibly not surprising given that the same OEM manufactures airbrushes for Mr Hobby and Tamiya (and Iwata). 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burakol 462 Posted June 27, 2020 This is impressive... packaging and transit time wise... Just bought a bearing set for my cc01 and rear arms for my Hotshot from Stellamodels... only took less than 2 weeks to get here in the states... Packaging was top notch...

Mark_C 198 Posted June 29, 2020 I have been naughty and ordered a TT-02R from tamico. My TA03F needs a shell, it might get this one or a Repsol cosworth. The Alfa one on the TL-01 is well battered and I'm in two minds on that one - I can't get the original sticker sheet any more, but can get the shell (when in stock) so I could just do it plain white or get a martini sticker sheet (not sure if tamiya decals are available, but I know MCI ones are, albeit it at £40! ). My TL-1 is: Martini version is Would like to do a Lancia as well.. I do have a Merc AMG GT shell I got off ebay but it needs a TT01/2 under it because the TL-01 body posts are in a different place and I don't really want to make more holes in the body. My TT01E is already carrying the Subaru Impreza NBR shell.. I would just buy another cheap chassis off ebay, but prices are daft at the minute. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Today I contemplated placing a £100 order with AsiaTees. I still haven't hit the big golden checkout button, but I'm seriously tempted.

Mark_C 198 Posted June 29, 2020 No they aren't the same mould but I guess similar - look at the front window (Edit: rear wing, mirrors and windscreen wipers all different too, also the 58128 comes with clear windows and a driver, the other two don't). The real car had the same thing on the windows too Campaigned in DTM and ITC apparently. Is the 58128 body available ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter_B 997 Posted June 29, 2020 Big box from Time Tunnel Models with a pair of Mavericks inside. A Strada DT and a Strada XT for my lads plus a couple if Absima receivers so they can use their existing transmitters instead of the ones bundled in the boxes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badcrumble 4204 Posted June 29, 2020 @Mark_C and @ChrisRx718, I think all three are great. I have a soft spot for the 155s, I test drove a ‘Silverstone’ once, a step-up from my Fiat Uno! The ‘94 plate 146 I ended up buying had a huge ‘etched glass effect’ Alfa badge sticker across the rear window! That was removed before it left the forecourt...

Mark_C 198 Posted June 29, 2020 I love the late 90s super touring car era, loads of innovation, mega engines and aero, pro drivers and lots of battles. There are some good videos of the 155s on youtube, seems quite a few are used as hillclimb cars now. @ChrisRx718 - for the escort, there was a guy selling cars on ebay with the same shell but he had copies of the factory RS2000 stickers and I saw another recently with factory like Mexico ones. Haven't managed ot track them down - I know the Mexico ones were bought because it said so in the ebay ad. Any ideas on a source ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The real Martini and Bosch were 4wd unlike the red Alfa - fwd, 4wd chassis should have a 4wd body, but then I'm a bit funny like that 🙄 The Martini livery looks fantastic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Truck Norris 2237 Posted June 29, 2020 The real red one is 4WD too. That body was most recently available in the TT-02 Jägermeister version and body set, discontinued now but you might get lucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
