That's fantastic!! I can't believe Kyosho/Graupner is still using the classic auto part brands in their stickers while the über expensive Tamiya stuff comes out with all type of *****ty FAKE sponsor decals!
Nice original Graupner/Kyosho Scorpion kit there. As you say - it has the later black chassis tub. Do we know if all Graupner/Kyosho Scorpions had the black chassis tub, or did some have yellow?
Also - what kinds of wheels, tyres and dampers does it have?
The tyres will be one of the 3 types. The wheels could be one of 2 types. And the dampers are probably red, and probably the 8mm variety. It is very hard to faithfully reproduce that beautiful box art photo.
