Hi all, was lucky enough to pick up this  old Nichimo Spirit FF kit last year - original price Yen 17,800
- hope you like .  

I'll probably build it when I find the time. 

 

As you can see , these Nichimo kits come well presented. With blister packaging like Tamiya vintage kits. 

Here's the manual

That's gonna be awesome, congrats!

If you need parts, marc modeled it .

You may have seen here the long thread I did about the Nichimo Spirit FF which I modeled and replaced all the plastic parts by Nylon PA12 printed parts...Knowing how the Plastics are fragile on those cars are, I would not run an original car. You may want at least replace chassis (bottom and top), gearbox, bumper rollcage and radio box by printed parts if you intend to run the car...

Thanks for the advice guys.

I will build this, but can't see it ever getting past being a " shelf queen" . 

yes, build it and put it on a shelf to be admired. To nice not to build.

it’s like a mix of Hotshot and Wild One / ORV parts. But I love that these kits can still be found in this condition. Enjoy.
