What happened to Tamiya?!

Received my Turbo Carerra today. Ie was a great Ebay hit for 13.15 EUR including shipping. Being the proud owner of several Fujimi 911 kits from the EM series, I was disappointed by that kit. The kit is made in top quality. Mould lines can be hardly seen or felt. However, the kit is tooooo simplified, even for a curbside kit. The whole body shell is made of one single piece, including the huge rear spoiler and bumpers. It would have been much more convinient if they were separate, for easy painting and polishing.

I would like to learn about the experiences of those who started working on that kit.

Re: What happened to Tamiya?!

I made it some time ago, it went together really fast, and looks pretty good, i loved building it.
The body is a bit of a challenge tho with it in one piece. That's because it's based on the snap fit porsche speedster...

Anyways, looking forward to seeing it!

Re: What happened to Tamiya?!

I am building one now. It's an old tool that has been updated as said, from a SnapLoc. Painting all the black trim on it has proven to be a real job as the one I'm doing is Pure White and the window frames are not as defined as I would like. Also the headlight lens/bezel is a devil of a set up too... - Mark
