Brabham Bt50 Bmw Turbo Body Re-issued!

[crispy]

I was shocked to be able to get a hold of this body set from JR-RC, does anyone know the story on this re-release, seems like i missed it completely!!. Perhaps this is a show special body only?

This is the coolest and hardest to find of the old school bodies, so fantastic news!

Is JR RC an ebay seller or a store? I'd be curious to see what this body is all about.

Jason has them again, this is a limited re issue for fitting onto the F103 chassis, not a complete reissue in the traditional sense, though very useful for someone who doesn't want to use a rare original bodyset for their build.

Limited Re issues with the brown tab tops are almost always restricted to Japan in this sense and are often sold at modelling and other events or exhibitions, or through the Tamiya's own store even. They aren't numbered, just limited.

Not sure what they meant by ill-smelling

^^^ yea it STINKS that it ain't a worldwide general re-release

Limited run available at the Modelling Shop/s only - not sure if its just the new opening one or all of them.

All the "rare item" would have been grabbed up by locals by now.

silouettes were shown in pic...

Sedan-type is the Volvo 850R

Coupe-type is the Loctite GTR

type FA is the Fiat Abarth

type B is the BT50

don't get too greedy at the JPY 2x00 pricing either, that don't include sticker set (sold separately) nor local sales tax

all up it totals about JPY 4200 walkout price each for a "bodyset" as we know it

GBP 27 for

2 tablespoons' worth of polycarbonate (shell), 3 tbsp of ABS resin (sprue) & 1 tsp of steel (screws) + 5 litres of Air

And some scraps of pigmented PVC vinyl (decals) & waxed paper (backing & masking) in the other bag.

Who's really receiving the "good deal" ??
