That body set is a late re release, and doesn't come with the alloy side pieces, Tamiya stopped supplying them in the body sets due to cost, instead they supplied a printed template so you could cut your own. It doesnt have the full vintage decals either. Way overpriced.

I do have a complete rear wing set up spare if someone wants to cross my palm with gold...

A few weeks ago I might have been tempted, but I’ve made my own now! 😁

Ready for paint then stickers.

Thats looking really good, nice job. Not far to go now till its all done.

I reckon I can call this done!

Finished off the 3D printed rear wing, mirrors and roll hoop. 

Cleaned up Jacques and re-stickered his helmet.

I reckon you should be proud of a job well done.

Its turned out great. Thing is though, where would we be without 3D printers? Can you imagine trying to replicate all those parts just by hand?

Thanks mate.

Yes, it's amazing what you can do with tinkercad and a 3D printer. Especially with the crazy NOS prices at the moment.

Found a place for it on the shelf with some other oldies.

And updated my showroom on the main site.

hi, I picked up parts to recreate a JS9, on the rare optional CS FRP chassis upgrade (different than the one of the JPS79)

I got the lexan body, the lexan decals, the driver head, body supports... but I lack the rear wing and its side. Can you help me ?

[rjg1973 159]

Sure, happy to help if I can. Sent you a PM.
