Grastens 2795 Posted January 22, 2018 That X-wing is just tremendous - and the fighter plane is cute The others do confirm my suspicion that motorcycle liveries would look great on this model. These photos really open the mind to the possibilities... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qatmix 794 Posted February 13, 2018 Just use a 4xAA battery holder from maplin etc and solder a Tamiya plug on it. Costs about £2 a in and fits perfectly. It’s a shame we didn’t get the battery parts but it’s cheap to just make one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRx718 4470 Posted April 6, 2018 These things are so cool. We never really took on the Star Unit series in the UK- I've never even seen one for Sale. Does anyone know if the line is popular in Japan? I think the UK is still waiting on the next shipment - Hobbyco typically didn't import many on release Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moffman 5752 Posted May 8, 2018 Tamiya still know how to bring the fun into racing! Which I think a lot of the local BRCA clubs in the UK need to take a good hard look at doing they just look so cool racing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would need a good grasp of kits to pull off I guess. Glad people think outside the box and do these things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
