Well not quite! But as Tamiya hasn't rere'd this one yet and may never, I wanted to make my own like a lot of other people have done on here. I actually created this a few months back but have only just got around to taking photos and posting it. Based on a Sand Scorcher rere, it has the Ranger body posts, and a Blackfoot body set. I've not done it exactly as a clone as it doesn't have the FORD lettering on the hood/bonnet or tailgate, but it's close with it's MCI decals. I 'shaved' the bed to remove the roll bar mounting posts and get the bed cover nice and flat. It's painted in TS-44 Brilliant Blue and really pops in the sunlight. Hope you like, and comments always welcome. Cheers.

Looks great. I’ve just done something similar on the Forum. Slightly different twist from yours. Will put it in show room when it’s done. We can do it why can’t Tamiya!!!

Thank you Jurgen. I don't know why they haven't re released it. Seems like a missed opportunity to me!

I look forward to seeing yours on here Busdriver. Why can't Tamiya indeed! They certainly could if they wanted to. Maybe one day.

The Ranger was my first Tamiya in 1982 .... I have a New Build one for display but need to make one as a runner. As we speak I am building a runner Sand Scorcher ... maybe I shoul buy a Balckfoot bodyset.... Really like yours. The brilliant blue is just perfect. Love it!

Thanks for your comments Steffen, Koen, and James! Much appreciated. It really would be great if Tamiya paid Ford the licencing money to do this like they do with VW and Porsche. We really do need this rere'd! Please Tamiya, complete the SRB series!!
