Me either Flo until a while back when I was looking for a TA chassis in the JTCC or BTCC livery and found this in a search. Very understated and easy to miss.

Should be a fun build and body....

The body looks very nice . I'm fan of it . And the civilian livery is crazy. 

It is stamped with the 58186 kit number.

Nice one!

LOL - yes a crazy amount of gears, and t takes about 32 x 1150 bearings in the guts.  I don't think I'll bother with those. I'll use the brass bushings left over from a few of my truck kits.

That's the same kid I have .
I'm just waiting on some extra bits from Plaza Japan to come in and I'll stat the build. 
 

Decided to rescue this little drift car. It has several mods done but It's missing a couple/few things and does a weird hop when the wheels turn (I think the drive shafts are too tight and forcing the suspension arms to move). The body isn't perfect and appears to be wearing two different decal themes, but it should make a good runner for the driveway. I've never driven a drift car so this should be a hoot.

The WR-02CB chassis used in the Comical's is a similar layout, but a bit simpler.

Nice pile of boxes outside my door when I got home from work! The Buggy Champ, Midnight Pumpkin and Lunch Box Mini have been a loooong time coming. Ordered several months ago from Tower, then had to complain a bunch recently until the right person listened and took care of their issues. Placed second orders and they honored the original discounts and shipped within a week. The Team Lotus was an Ebay score. I know this has probably been asked a zillion times, but why is the Racing Buggy red on the box, but I always see them painted orange?!? (or blue as the side of the box example)

 

It looks orange on the box art to me......
