A dream come true
Words cannot describe how I felt ordering, recieving and building this car. I really haven't felt this excited over a new build since my first Monster Beetle back in 1987. A couple of times I had to sit back and say to myself, 'I have a Sand Scorcher. An actual Sand Scorcher'. And I know the purists don't think it's a real one, but frankly, I don't care
Going to keep this car pretty much stock and run it (keeping it in a box or on a shelf is just sacriledge). I still have some of the finer details to do like number plates, indicator colouring and the driver, but just wanted to get the pics on here so I could share it with you!

It's from Tamiya and it says Sand Scorcher on the box so thats good enough for me - I guess I'm not a purist
Looks so great in those colours!
SteelRat
My feelings exactly Olly. If Tamiya say it's a Sand Scorcher, then a Sand Scorcher it most definitely is.

lol Rosey.. believe me, as soon as I get a battery for it, I'm gonna spank it like a biggun! I enjoyed saying that too
koenc

'Superb Scorcher' I'm glad you didn't paint it box-art mate! I'm just wondering how long them wing mirror's are going to last though
SteelRat
lol Connor that was exactly what went through my mind when I was fitting them!

Hey looks good but the front wheel showing is built with the center piece in backwards.
slimmy
That exaust will go quicker than those mirror's. EVERONE, place your bets, lol
SteelRat
