Cheers,

I'll check it out. I got it off ebay. A company made it named Tamiya. They havn't made that particular kit for about almost 10 years. I've seen in some places they're going to re-issue the kit again. www.towerhobbies.com. I seen on a few sites they won't be out til late march.

wicked! Posts like this gets me in trouble, cause I get blamed for having too many hobbies/interests.... Good thing there isnt a hobby shop with dem fings close by me!!! The missus will kill me.

Yeah, it's not Germanlook. It's VERY close to being real though. I told a friend of mine into rc cars about me buying it, he begged me to paint it. Like I said above, it's 10 years old. You don't find many. I had no idea they would re-issue it. My next bug this size will be more of a Germanlook theme. Those things on the car are the body post to hold the body on.

I was wondering how many people would mistake it for a real car.
