Tamiya Martini Porsche 935 Turbo

Just won and received a Tamiya Martini Porsche 935 Turbo (24001) on ebay. It was vintage Tamiya (not a re-issue) and it was in pristine condition, even came with a motor. One drawback, and a major one at that was that the bodyshell was completely missing. What do you think of my chances of getting another bodyshell? I know that Tamiya re-issued it before.

No, I didn't. I did contact the seller who said she would have a look for me the next time she goes up to the loft to bring out the next load of kits to sell.

I put a maximum bid of £20. It hung around at £8, then some 2 extra bis went in just before the end and I was lumped with paying my max bid!!:cry:

Ebay is a dangerous game!!

I've had over 100 satisfactory transactions on Ebay, you need to demand a refund or your seller should correct that as soon as possible!

That's for the 1/12 version, I think Kar is talking about the 1/24, right?

Yup, I'm refering to the 1/24th kit. I've contacted the seller again and she has no idea what I'm talking about, but would endeavour to look for it again.

Thing is I have bought from her before and had no problems. To be fair to her, she did admit to knowing next to nothing about kits. As she put it:

'I'm not a car collector, just clearing the family loft'.
