The Ascona is one of my favorite vintage Tamiya models. Besides a nib kit I will soon start building a new one :-) . For practise I have painted a repro TBG shell the last days. The body lines and details of the repro shell are not so sharp, but it's ok for a runner. I have used the excellent repro decals from 'tamiyoman'. They fit excellent and the details are even better than the originals. :-)
This will be a runner on a used chassis.
I have never run the Ascona or Quattro cars and can't wait to do so in the next days. :-)
Enjoy the pictures.
Comments are welcome as always.

Hi everybody ! Many thanks for your kind comments
emaljevan, just type on the bay 'Tamiya Ascona body' and you will find the repro shell offered from a canadian seller.

Looks Great finished buddy, always nice to see the decals applied and see how they look, and have to agree with you they look good unlike me right now who looks terrible after a Stag/Bachelor Weekend ;-(

Lovely, I remember seeing the real one rallying back in the 80s. It's too bad the repro body is so expensive from Team Bluegroove if you want the plastic parts too.
