Picked this up recently built 20 years ago by previous owner who ran it once to test (very carefully)and then used it as a display piece ever since !!
It is in amazing condition .Tyres are as new with no cracks /splits etc which is very rare ,wheels are white as new no yellowing .No damage and painted to a nice standard .Came rtr with period rc gear and 7.2v hump pack still fitted and seems to hold a charge !!!
I was considering letting it go but i am really getting quite attached to it the more i look at it.It is amazing to find models like this still in this condition .This is a true survivor example .Nothing repro 100% genuine tamiya .
What a fun looking model .
I have only ever been able to pick up knackered examples in the past that required to much money spending to restore them so ended up giving up on them.Too be honest all ive done with this one is dust it a little !!!
The credit goes to its previous ownere who is not a tc member who has cared for it and protected it all these years .
Long live willy!!!
I find it hard to understand how anyone could buy this all those years ago and not want to use it ?
i know i would have found it very hard to resist !!!
