Somewhere early 2014 I bought a TA02SW with the Porsche GT2 body for really cheap on a Dutch trading website. It was the Taisan version originaly, but done in a non boxart silvergrey version. It showed that it was used and was in desperite need of a new body and a new set of wheels.

I wanted to do a Martini livery and give it a racing look with a rollcage. I first restored the TA02SW and then ordered a new body, paint and a new set of wheels. And for the livery several sets of Martini decals. The rollcage is made of straws and put together with a glue gun. I added one picture of the real deal that was the inspiration for this build.

I hope you enjoy it.
