paul-muc Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 This kit was meant for a slot car. No motor, no detailing of cockpit (except dashboard and seat) and underside. I've made it a streetversion instead of the rallye version with decals and additional head lights./media/tinymce_upload/6894023f3fdca0e9a88172c6eaac8aa9.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/457e935183a79135cb7e3bd3f940939e.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/63973f093603f1c529602a243b8a55fe.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richyt Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hi, Nice model. I think this was the re-boxed Aoshima model from the late 70's, early 80's. It was, in that guise, a motorised free running model rather than a slot car. This was common in Japanese car kits made in the 70's and 80's. I've made both versions; the Aoshima one was the British Airways sponsored car, and both looke okay wahen made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Gunze Sangyo and Aoshima seem to have made good stabs at British sports car subjects, and have done deals with Airfix in their time. Maybe something like these deals could be brokered again in 2016? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
