And the Kyosho re-releases keep coming....
Kyosho were really getting on a roll with the re-release of this kit. Following years & years of not playing ball, they had now brought back three within the space of a year. Would they now plough on and bring back the one that everyone seemed to want...the Optima? We didn't know at the time, but it seemed to be a logical progression. And so it proved, less than a year after this kit was re-issued.
In the meantime though, before all of that, we could enjoy this release from them, the beautiful Tomahawk. Arguably the best looking buggy on the Scorpion chassis, and probably without question the most technically accomplished. Back in the day this one was the result of tweaking the Scorpion to make it even more race competitive.
From the body design of this buggy you can clearly see how it influenced the styling of their buggies a few years later. The Optima basically looks like a 4WD version of this buggy, and the styling of the Mid was also heavily influenced by it too
Just as was the case with the re-re Scorpion kit, the presentation of this one is a joy to behold. And, as it seems to have a chunkier box than the Scorpion, there is a little extra sense of occasion to it. :)
