F103 and F104 rant

Recommended Posts

What is the deal here, I used to race these ~8 years a go and even won the first F1 championship over here. 

 

Now I regret selling my cars and trying to find these online but really poor selection imo.

 

Where are these kits? special editions etc.  -has Tamiya discountinued the formula line?

 

Even Tamico only has one F104 kit and one wide F104.And only 3 F103 models.

 

Help me to find a good deal somewhere...

Totally feel your pain - have been looking around myself as i wanted to use one as the basis of a custom project. Seems even the ratty ones on ebay are going for big money.

I have a runner 103 with two shells and a as new 104 v1 Pro with spares. Pm me your email if interested and I can send some pics.

I think Tamiya have realised that few people buy F1s for bashing, so are focusing their development efforts on their TRF F1 line.

Hi,

Did you get sorted?

I have a F103 that I’m looking to sell.

If you're not entirely Brand loyal, Team Associated has a few nice F-1 cars... But I agree, Tamiya has been scarce with theirs.

See pics of the car below.
I think it’s a Benetton 58118 with replacement shell.

There’s a small crack near the nose, a piece of the body needs sticking back on and the rear wing needs repairing or replacing (but there’s a spare one with it). Looking for £100 plus postage will be about £20 if I can get it under 2kg.
