Cheers Andy, I think this is my biggest Tamiya challenge to date. The thing is over 40 years old and they didn’t make spares for this as far as I’m aware.
Luckily they re-used the moulds for the re-releases so getting the plastic body parts and wheels isn’t a big problem. My big challenge is going to be getting this think running again !!!! Which I’m determined to do. |

The clean up has begun. Here are all the metal parts that make up the axles, suspension and the front sprockets. It’s all cleaned up pretty well so far and I will look to attach most of this onto the hull and then put some paint down. Luckily everything is olive drab except for a few small details on the hull parts. The main issue as far as I’m concerned is the gear box. I’m tempted to try and see if it’s possible to re-engineer it from what I’ve got back to what the PO possibly did. Yeah I think that’s either optimistic or wishful thinking ????? Attachments: |
