Wez-li 1790 Posted November 2, 2011 Looking good! You have come a long way... Cheers mate, not doing too badly, from this... To this... There's not too much more to do now. Wing mount (not seen one for sale ) Tyres Body, paint + decals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
94eg! 834 Posted November 2, 2011 There's not too much more to do now.Wing mount (not seen one for sale ) I think that TamiyaEgress.com site talked about using the Top Force parts. The wire is the same for the Egress with an extra bend to kick up the rear. You could easily make that happen. Plastic parts are the same I think (though I've never tried).

djmcnz 754 Posted November 4, 2011 Seen Egress decals on ebay for £35-45Looked here Click for Pyramid models and they are £16.99 Too good to be true? Good price but surprisingly Egress decals are quite easy to get, IIRC somebody hauled a batch of 1000 a few years back. £16.99 is the best price I've seen, I got mine for US$30 + shipping last year.

Tamiya Era 778 Posted November 4, 2011 Well if genuine, £16.99 is a great price, I'll take the plunge and order a set. check this: http://www.pyramidmodels.com/shop/section....miya_car_decals it says: Quality of decal is second to none, there is nothing that betters these originals??? so does it mean it is Repo. but grade A????

Not sure as it also says These are not copies / Repros (Reproduction )* All decals have been stored flat in boxes * All decals have been stored in their original packing * Quality of decal is second to none, there is nothing that betters these originals Can't write that without them being original surely?

Tamiya Era 778 Posted November 5, 2011 Not sure as it also says Can't write that without them being original surely? Well, i doubt they are original, the description is confusing ......if someone bought them, he might give us some feed back....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack_Truck 1 Posted November 5, 2011 Not sure as it also says Can't write that without them being original surely?

Tamiya Era 778 Posted November 6, 2011 wass up Wiz-li where did u reach now...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wez-li 1790 Posted November 6, 2011 The wording is really bad and there is no clarity imo.'The quality is second to none' which to me implies copies. But then in the next sentence, they say these are originals. You need to email the shop and find out to be sure. Having looked at the other sets they have, they do seem to be random and if ebay has Avante 2001 for 59GBP, how can they only charge 16.99!!!! If something is too good to be true, it often is! Agreed mate, gonna send an email to confirm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
