Lol - my 'better half' is rather bemused at my hobby & why I would want to take pictures of my toys... worst of all the possibility of being caught out with me whilst i am in 'geek-mode':D

Well, perhaps it's because on the beech you said 'how about a couple of pics with the top off' when you wanted to take a pic without the shell on?

Perhaps the Mrs misunderstood!:o

oh, and great to get a message from the man himself, brilliant!

Ive seen this thread on other forums, mainly rctech.
But I cant help to wonder, is this guy actually have the car
that Hirosaka had? Or is he simply wanting to reproduce a replica kinda like
not having the original just the one that looks like the one that won that year.
I bet if he had the original it wouldnt be for sale anywhere.:drool:

Excellent! I'm impressed you think it could be the real thing!

I'm a regular here and put pics of the build on....it is definitely a replica....I still have yellow, red and black fingers to prove it! :)

It's clearly a replica and an excellent one.

Yeah masami keeps all his cars I think. There are pics on the net with exhibitions of his (mostly very green) collection.

DanB4 21-02-2013 02:12 PM

The real one sits at Schumachers UK headquarters. ...just had an email from Robin actually saying he likes my car :)

Thanks Naushad I wish someone thought some of my Kyoshos were the real deal box art ones....that would be the ultimate compliment!

Well done Dan!!! Great work pal. Gonna go buy a copy today.
(Great to see two of my rebuilds published!)

That is very cool replica. I love the simpility of body shell design in those years. good job.

optiman 06-06-2013 02:59 PM

Dont get one, get two copies!!! That way you can cut and frame one of them.
Congrats!!!!!!!!:thumbsup:
