Edou Topic Author Offline Hopping Mad Posts: 6135 Likes received: 483	Hi, Can anyone help identify this chassis? It is said to be a DF-01 here (under Group C) but I think not : Black Hole Sun Tamiya on road chassis Looks like a Boomerang but I'm not sure... TamiyaWeb.com Attachments:

I found the chassis the picture is taken from :silly:

Looks like a Chinese copy..
Found the picture on this site: naminos.blog68....y-843.html

A translation from Chinese indicate foul play: "Has been adopted by supermarkets and Manta Ray, Out of Print ish tea bukkake only."

The page from Black Hole Sun is a nice read but it seems like a silly slip up to not use a picture of a genuine DF-01... This bigger image with the rest of the car looks closer to the truth though...
