Now finished after long during hard work. I stopped also my Bruiser restoration to finished this one (a Porsche fan had to do this:)). Bought this car on ebay for about 270 Euro and restored it, the car was nearly complete but horrible painted and glued. The good thing was the price and the nearly undriven chassis.
The body is sprayed with TS-41 (Coral blue) i think the best original Tamiya Color for this hardbody better than all the normal greens but it could be a little darker for a 100% perfect match.
I used some repros from Chris combined with the decals from a new Tamtech kit because the fit perfect and have better colors ;)
For the different touch i sprayed the wheels chrome and matt black to imitate the original Porsche Fuchs wheels.
This is my favourite model i like the body details so much i never saw so many details before on a Tamiya RC. I hope you enjoy him also ;)

sorry, i forgot to descibe the driver this is something special (after a long search i found this parts): the head is from the celica gr.b 1:12, the body of the driver is maybe from a 1:12 Tamiya F1 modell (found on ebay) and the steering wheel is original from the kit... some day after i found all the parts and painted that Tamiya released the Tamtech Kit with the original driver Tree but i decide to mount my special driver because it was so difficult to find all the parts an i am a little bullheaded i hold the original in spare
