THE GRAAL
One of my longest searches. Finally obtained on eBay, from Turkey. NIB, and not really cheap. Also being a 'Hondaddict', I consider this model as a lovely homage to a great era of this company.
I had a good time building & customizing it. Basic options are ESC Tamiya TEU-101BK that beeps very gently in case of transmitting problems, and ball bearings. Other options are: Metallic antenna, snap pins replaced by transparent nylon wires (impossible to lose, by glueing one end inside the body), and small front bumper.
Of course, I added a driver's head, with leds as eyes.. On the other hand, the sticker-type wipers didn' t seem realistic enough: They follow the shape of the body (windscreen frame) like...stickers ! So, I 'forgot' them.
Also forgotten, even if the real racing car had one: the horrible part called 'windscreen' you' re supposed to fix on the bonnet with double-sided tape, and the numbers.
Like my CRV, this model will not be run very often. Only three or four times a year, just to blow the dust off it...

That is NICE, I love the driver and the extras you have on there. Those wheels really POP, did you paint them chrome silver?? Could we have some more photos of the body pin configuration and the driver close up??? I like the 1:1, let's have some photos of that too.

Yes, Crash Cramer. The rims are simply painted chrome silver (Humbrol 11). More pics will be soon available on my TC album.
