Am I very wrong when I think it looks a little the 58001 ??

[BugFreak]

The only "wrong" I see, is the two braces on the top of the gearbox, and that the main gear is behind the pinion, vs. on the front on the 934... anyone have a clue?

It is from a small Japanese company call OTAKA. They also produced a Porsche 935-78 and Lamborghini LP400. They are I think from the same era of Tamiya 934, 935 so the chassic design must be copied from Tamiya. Go to Yahoo Japan and you will occasionally find a few.

Thanks! Do you know if its exactly the same design? Do the Tamiya-parts fit?

[RA1028]

They are similar but I don't think their parts are interchangable.

RA1028 is spot on it's made by Japanese company called OTAKI and the desighn is a copy of the original Porsche 934. I found the below pic's on another auction site a few weeks back.

Hope these pic's help when you come to restoreing it []

Thanks a lot Lee, have to bring out my glue and the paintbrush...

[DeeMiller]

I think it's worth restoring it.

But wouldn't that be very difficult because of the availlability of spareparts?

Interesting piece though!

The name of the company was actually "Otaki". This company no longer exists, but at least the majority the molds have been taken over by Doyusha. Just like Tamiya 58001 and 58002, the RC-version of the Otaki BMW 3.5CSL was also based on a static model kit. Fortunately, this static kit has been re-released by Doyusha, and isn't hard to find, so getting parts for the body is quite simple! []
