Default Not the usual Tamiya Vintage :)
Finally finished the restoration of my QD Dash 3 Shooting Star.

The car was not in circulation very long and I got this one in 1989 or1990. It fell into a bit of disrepair and the gear box had been a bit damaged when water was left sitting in it several years ago. The body was also damaged beyond repair.

It's back to almost factory finish

I'd like to thank victor101car (Lightwater models) on Ebay for finding me a body shell in perfect condition.
