[Sold] Can't take the credit for this one

25 years ago when I got my first Tamiya the truck I originally wanted was a Blackfoot. I saw it in a home shopping catalogue - Littlewoods or Great Universal, I can't remember which. My friend at the time talked me out of it and I ended up with a King Cab, which undoubtably was a better handling and probably faster truck.



Since getting back into RC I've been on the lookout for a a Blackfoot, either a NIB to build, or a nicely build example. When I was offered this one built by Moosey from Tamiya101.com I couldn't say no.



It's never been run, there was no evidence of even having servos fitted and the paint and detailing has been very well done. Having said that it's a fair few years since it was built and the paint is looking a little flat. There's also a lot of very fine scratches over the body and windscreen so I'd like to respray it at some point perhaps. This shows up in the rear shot especially as I used a flash.


Rooting through some of my old stuff still at my parents house I came across the page torn out of the catalogue. It's a bit creased but I've scanned and uploaded it for posterity.


Update 5th Feb 2017: I took some new photos of this in preparation for selling it and uploaded them below. I never liked the fact that it wasn't really mine, and wasn't totally happy with the paint so decided it should go.


Update 11th Feb 2017: I listed this on eBay as a Buy It Now and it sold within 90 minutes. Packaged it up today and sent it to the new owner in Austria.
