As a kid I spent far too much time drooling over Tamiya catalogues and RC Guidebooks. I loved the SRBs and 3-speeds (and just about everything else!) but one model always grabbed my attention - Willy's M38.
So when this LWB appeared for sale here on TC I jumped at it. The chassis is tidy but the body was poorly painted, so after a strip down and repaint it now looks like this.
It's a runner but will only be used on grass or sand.
Hope you like it,
cheers,
Rob

Great detail on the body. You did a great job!!! Looks to be in great shape overall. I'm in the process of restoring mine as well. I was told the tires/rims are very hard to find. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
