HI!... I'm looking for a Tamiya 58052 Newman Porsche 956 decals + driver. Decals don't have to be originals, but must be excellent quality reproductions that look exactly like the originals. Also need entire plastic driver.

Thanks :

Neal.

HI!... Also forgot I need a original Mechanical Speed Controller for this. I know that's probably going to be the hardest thing to find.....

You are in luck,Tamiya is re releaseing this car and the body set will come shortly after so you will be able to pick it up for about the same price as a reproduction body.

HI!... O.k I got a NIP speed controller off Ebay. Also ordered a new body/driver from TBG. I just need decals and a driver's head. Does the Newman Porsche 956 used the same drivers head as the Hornet, Grasshopper, Bigwig etc?

The New Man Porsche uses a 1/12th Scale head and has a little lexan base that the head attaches to. The Driver head from the Tam Tech Gear is a close match but if you use a Grasshopper head it will be a little large but it will not look that bad.
I have the TBG body and its not bad but the details are really hard to see,its really hard to mask off the windows and head light area. Its better than nothing but deffently not as good as a Tamiya body.
