The COMPLETE collection of Nichimo OFF ROAD kits.
I Finally got around to taking pics of another of my completed 'series'. Here we have all of the Off road Nichimo kits ever produced NIB.
To be honest I have always been fascinated by these cars. I have actually built the Luminous and reviewed it in a two part series for R/C CAR magazine. It got alot of attention and emails to me and the magazine. Probably because it was so ugly!!
I will be building all of these some day. Somehow I could not resist the temptaion of building one of the ugliest cars of all time in the Luminous though.
I may get another Luminous NIB so that I can have a true 'virgin' set again. Not the prettiest series of cars - however they came from a time when R/C manufacturers were not afraid to make something new and cutting edge - nothing like todays 'cookie cutter' and re-release product that is churning out of several companies rather than good honest new stuff!! Woops - I am ranting !
Hope you like the Nichimo series.

Thanks Ewe - Yep - the Cosmo was the last one in the link. The kit was in even better condition than you described! They really are a 'quirky' series of car. I like Quirky!!
Stefan - I had the Tanks out - but forgot to take a pic!! That would be a great shot......maybe next time the area needs a tidy up.
I do have some spares for the series - email me with details of what you need.

Is it me or is the Luminous looking very similar to Tamiya St Dragon?, and the Cosmo Shooter looks like a kyosho Cosmo/ Tamiya St Dragon, cool Kits though Jason, however i have your kyosho collection as my fave lol.
