1987 IFMAR winning Masami CAT

Not perfect and still work to be done but I'm happy :)

Thanks to J1mbo and Terry for help with reproducing the decals.

I have another 4 of the decal sheets and also sheets of red, blue or black vintage style Schumacher and HPI Japan logos. PM if interested :)

Wow thats awesome

I used to have a HPI Uno motor in my SE 20 years ago, I gave it away about 5 years ago (the motor) kicking my self but it wasn't in that great shape anyway but still.

I'd love to build up a CAT but they scare me in terms of difficulty to find parts

Thanks guys.

I have a yellow UNO which I might stick in the car. Better than it being in its box.....shame it doesn't have a blue label.

WOW! Thats all I can say.
I'd love to have one of those motors for my SE for nostalgia but I think the CAT is a more worth recipient

Where do you get that from?

So did you get Willy to print off some more stickers, or have you had to get them reproduced yourself.

But that can was produced after the world Champs, as you can tell by the wording on the label. I think the correct motor label is the one Masami used on the roof of the body. In the early days before homologation it wasn't too difficult to get motor stickers from your sponsors to rebadge another motor.;)

Ended up doing them myself together with the help of a friend in the UK Terry
