I thought I'd have a go at the Tamiya "Original Body" that appeared in most RC Guide Books between 1987 and 1993:
Plans scanned in, resized, printed out & stuck on styrene sheet: ... and cut out: Front wings (fenders) complete: ... and front end built up: Working on fake air intakes - a lot of the build is guesswork & I later found these bits were in the wrong place Back end mostly done: Sticking the two halved together - fit of parts is not great throughout, not helped here by bits in the wrong place:

I remember this body. It's a free interpretation of a mariage of 1 dmc delorean and 1 testarossa. Nice Jonny
wasn't a milk delivery truck too???? |

The chassis it's built on in the guide book is the 58049 Toyota Tom's 84C & has front body post holes marked in the plans, the rear post points aren't marked but I guess that's to allow for slight differences in fit, the instructions (such as they are) call for marking & drilling them yourself. I don't plan to fit this to a chassis as the chances of getting a decent vintage RM chassis at a price I'd want to pay are very slim, and the modern M-chassis are all way too tall. A Schumacher GT12 (www.fusionhobbi...6-cell-kit) is a possibility though ... |

I was thinking more Matra Bagheera/512 Berlinetta Boxer myself The truck you're thinking of was the 1/24 Toyota Hiace Quick Delivery kit being modified to fit a Tamtech chassis.

I do remember this having an RM Porsche with a battered body back then, I dreamed of making one of these to fit it But then, like now I don't think I posses the skills required
Nicely done JR If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate

Thanks, I had a look but that's the wrong era & more than twice what I'd be looking to pay ... nice low chassis though
