OMG those were a nightmare

Always a fan of 1:1 R5 turbo - those were real little ROCKETS .

 I got a basherbody.

 

Sadly i had to drill new holes and the previous owner did cut the wheelarches not the right way....ķ

If they are re-releasing the Renault 5, I’m getting one this time.

I’ll sort out the chassis and making it look good once I’ve got one. I was gutted to miss out last time and I’ll never get my hands on a vintage one. It’s a shame they don’t redo those early pan chassis’s.

I did some "improvements"

 

 

Windowrubbers

 

Holes filled

 

Wheelarches taped with flash

Just seen this thread: as i know nothing about Tamiya models and chassis classification after the very early '90s, I never knew they released another R5 Turbo after the vintage one, let alone in FWD...that's just madness And from the above posts it seems the same happened with the Alpine A110

I'm passionate about classic cars and those two are among my (and surely others') all time favourites...I think that because of their racing careers, intrinsic beauty/exotic appearance, supercar-for-the road status, they fully deserved a "Porsche 959" treatment: a bespoke chassis suitable for some mild off-road running...they would have sold by the bucket load, IMHO
