Oh what beautiful box art. The C11 is the best looking in this Grp C series IMO. I first saw this kit in 1991/1992 when I brought my 1st Tamiya, a Manta Ray. I was tossing up which kit to buy, the Ray, the Madcap (Astute was outside my price range) or the C11. As I couldn't go off-road with the C11, my immaturity steered me in the direction of the all new TA01 style Manta Ray 4WD. What a bad decision.

The decals for these factory-finished bodies aren't the best for cut-out and placement - a bit of hit and miss, where that extra exactness goes a long way. But what is nice is the abscence of fumes for me when painting.

This will be a keeper.
Oh and I almost forgot to thank to TC member Loaded for supplying the kit from Europe. Thanks cobba.



I remember this image in 1991 at the LHS Sleek lines

Nice kit, it got there super fast! Just so you know, my membership name here is loaded! pauljking is my eBay handle. All the best, nice to do business. PS I agree it is the nicest looking. It is is also light and simple. As the founder of Lotus once said, 'Simplify and add lightness'
