A GREAT B DAY PRESENT !!!!!!!
Well way back in 1984 my first Tamiya was a frog, I loved that car, I remember building it, carefully opening all the blisters to put it together and not make any mistakes. That frog is long gone but I am happy to say that I now have a NIB vintage frog back !!! I knew where this one was tucked away for the last 4 years or so..., my girlfriend and I went to the shop on a whim and asked if it was for sale, the store clerk said no, everything is for sale except that...We said ok and sadily I walked out of the shop. As I was pulling out of the parking lot the shop owner came running out and said hay lets talk.... we walked back into the store and we opened up the lid on the kit and I was right back to 28 yeas ago when I first looked at mine....Well my girlfriend made him an offer telling him it was my B day and all and 5 minutes later we walked out with it in hand, as an added bonus I found a vintage speed controller in the box.....Man this is a B day wish come true !!! Thanks for looking....

Happy Birthday Danny Boy! I too had one of those and I know the exact feeling on opening the box. She's a keeper. (..the Girl Friend that is. )

great find and lovely box art (one of the best IMO) I have 2 vintage kits and one will be built shortly - does yours have the narrow bumper from the first batch??

Nice little Story Dan, also a very nice original example. Happy B day also. Makes me want to go build my re-re which has been sitting on the shelf waiting me to find time for it
