A perfect replica of my first Tamiya...
This car was bought as a surprise birthday present for me by Claire. It came all the way from SleeperCivic in California and arrived in excellent condition. The car showed minimal use and was all perfectly original bar the 16t Team Losi Revolution motor. It then took me over six months to source an NIB Falcon bodyset, which I finally got from a chap in Canada. It's now been painted up and decal'd identically to my first Tamiya that I was given at Christmas in 1986. When I decal'd my original car I was only 9 years old so wasn't too handy with the stickers, not too original either. (hey, every kid loves stickers. The more the better...!). Still, it appears I showed some restraint back then and I have decal'd this car (including my bad alignment from 1986) as an identical copy. I hope you like it, I'm really chuffed that it's turned out so nicely. Despite the Falcon body not being too simple to trim around the rear shock tower, I have excelled myself here and this is the best trimmed and brush-painted car I have yet done. Pretty good considering I have a very unsteady hand. Top job...!

Thanks guys. This is my favourite Tamiya because it's as near to my 1st Tamiya as I can get. Really pleased you like it. Has made my day. Especially as it's the 1st time I got on 'Have you seen too'
