My Kyosho Mini-Z APIO Suzuki Jimny arrived! 

(My Blockhead Motors Wild One never showed up so I gave up and put the funds to this little guy - I'm happy )

 

Looks great.

I had a similar thing occure recently with the limited yellow chassis Super Avante I pre-ordered months ago.

No stock in the country , or even a possible delivery date for the kit .. so I put the funds toward the Kyosho Optima the hobby shop had on the shelf. 

Not the hobby shops fault I might add , they were super helpfull.  It just seems that supplies are not available any time soon.

The postie dropped off these Civic racing "triplets" a few days ago.

All are still NIB / unasembled.

Well Tamiya did re-re the TA-03 RS so why not hope for a re-re off the TA-03F. Won't be the pro limited edition but I reckon the basic version would also sell very well.

I recognise that tiny Mt Fuji.:D

 I received the same little gift in my last package from Plaza Japan.  Great shop. 

What are you going to use the dish wheels on ?  I've always liked the plain look these have .. very Moon Disk like.

My spending has gone a liitle crazy lately. 

Here's what the postman dropped in -

The decals are for a drift car body I have planned to build . 

I've already mounted the tyres on the wheels - never tried these tyres before. 

The Xtraspeed part is for the Thundershot/ Terra Scorcher. 

The Dyna Blaster is NIB , and so pretty, that I couldn't resist it .

I am (foolishly) building a TA04-R from leftovers and new parts, and these are the rims and tyres specified in the manual :)

Excellent purchase it's one of those rc's that you tend to think as a sleeper most people remember its buggy cousin the dyna storm but the blaster was equally brilliant! And I like those decals👍

I know I know….i tried to sell all the leftovers as a fair priced bundle and didn’t get a sniff, so decided to double down. It would have been cheaper to just chuck it all in the bin and walk away 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️
