I hope to build this one soon. As a kid - I never really had much expsoure to this car and its price was way out of reach for any chance of me having it. So I never really came to appreciate it as much as I should have. However - I do remember my cousin having one of these and it seemed like a pretty cool car. I have to say that after getting back into collecting RC's, I can appreciate the styling of this car and it has really grown on me! Not to mention its representation for Tamiya, as the 10th anniversary RC! So glad to have one! I'll post pics after the build. ~Cheers!

Congrats Naxman. Lucky you!!
I have the same experience with this kit. Back then far too expensive. But now you still have something to enjoy

Thanks for the kind words guys! I am very lucky to have this kit in my collection. I still have not decided if i should build this one or keep it NIB. I really do want to build it someday. Just saving it for that special time.

Wow, a NIB one!
Hopefully we will make a SIG so we can have a special place here on TC for these gems from the 'golden era'

With the new Wig-SIG now....I'll either have to build this one or try and score a runner to customize....hmmmm

If you find another one of these, then that would be super cool, too!
