84270 AVANTE BLACK SPECIAL
This is the first avante black special to be listed on tamiya club, I woke early on new years day with the obligitory sore head from a good night before, and just happened to check stellamodels for this kit as i have been watching the release date on stella for a few days and the release date just kept getting pushed back. Well i couldn't belive my eyes when it said in stock so a quick check with the wife, it was added to my cart. It was posted on the 3rd january and today it arrived with no customs charges. Well the kit is fantastic, I am so glad tamiya chose to treat this kit to a full make over instead of just adding a black special sticker to the box. The packaging is different, new manual instead of just a sheet of updates, new decals even a new label on the motor. Well done tamiya for really doing this special edition some justice, with this being the first production run it comes with the black light weight wheels. Have I said I am an happy man right now, I now have all the avante series of cars except the Vajra and i am undecided on that one yet. If any one is undecided on this black special I say to you buy it you will not regret it especially as it is not that much more expensive than the standard avante 2011.
Update; just added a picture of the pink wheels and they are bright neon pink, even brighter than they look in the picture, the z parts are also moulded in grey instead of white.
If you liked those pictures, you should see these...

Looking good, much better than the original and the re-re imo. Box looks awesome, and how long has it been since a certain type of model had it's own model? It's the attention to detail that I always loved about Tamiya's, and I think they hit that soft spot again with this model (at least for me).

really like the black box look, makes it look much more special than just putting a sticker in the corner of the standard box. Very cool indeed.

I have the 2011 version. But this one 'Cuts the cake!'. If that's the right expression.

Nice words you used when you wanted to buy the BS '...quick check with the wife...' was doing that until the missus started jumping up and down when the Tamiya collection craze started getting out of hand! So now it's '...quick check if the missus is around... add to cart... Shhhh... click click... quickly close window!... Lols
