Model 80

[Gav missin]

Just a couple of pics of one of James my son's Xmas prezzies. Took 4 hours to make. All suspension and steering works. Really quite detailed in the engine bay.

It's an import I think. Judging by the wheel carrier and what looks like an LSD in the rear diff. Possibly has the factory winch too, but RHD. Hmm. Very good condition, no rust which is good and solid back windows so it's maybe a GX? I'd need a good look around it before I made an offer to be fair. Does it have any service history?

Awesome. I need one of those

How can it have service history Chris? Its "straight out of the box". Mind, from the pics it looks a damn good colour.

Aah you see it came with a left and right hand side dash kit Chris. No s/h I'm afraid. Gary 820. Ebay about £17. Has a red bottom on the box.

Did you need the diff locks to get out of that shag pile?

 

[Towpack]

Diecast or plastic? What scale?

Plastic towpack. It's 1/24 scale. Just checked on eBay. There are a 2 on there but now £25.

Admit it... That was not "A present for my son"
I know because I've just ordered one and im using my son as an excuse too
Oh does anyone know the paintcode for my 95 ?

 

[clivehorridge]

This is rather nice, I'm sure my daughter is desperate to have one! I see an order going in, in the near future...

Is that one of these?

I've been meaning to build it.

Is the bodywork self coloured or does it need painting Nick, it's the painting that always made my models look crap.

I can't remember. I'll have a look when I get home.

Not if you have all the kit for model spraying Chas. Hmm, I fancy that Tamaya

kit

No I haven't got that kit or the patience either.

 

[Chris]

It's the fiddly finishing off bits I don't like Chas. The big bits are fine.

 

[fbnss]

Just need glue by the looks of it


Looks tiny next to the xr3i though

If that's the motorised Tamiya Tiger kit I nearly bought one, must be nearly 20 years ago now and is was just over £400 then. Quality kits are Tamiya.

I've still got one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TAMIYA-BL...376386?hash=item25cd132ec2:g:T00AAOSwA3dYZ73p I built up in 1983. 3 speed gearbox and 4wd all selectable from the transmitter and locking/freewheeling front hubs. They also did it with a Hilux body but I wasn't into Toyotas back then! Both very collectible now.
