Even though i searched for a decent Avante, i couldnt justify the £350, so decided to buy a few projects.... Some good advice and if your after vintage and mint. Its far cheaper to buy one that do an old one up.

A few of the projects can be seen hear.



Tamiya fox, frog and fire dragon all wanted new shells. To those that dont know the shells alone for them came to over £100... Then they re released the frog grrr lol

Managed to find an old Astute on the lovely bay. Very rare these days and im still on the look out for one now. In the end I bought a new shell and decal set from Hong kong for £40 and made it look A1, Wheels and tyres were quite hard to get hold of though as well.

Nice car and from memory they were one of the first real serious 2wd cars to come from Tamiya.

Hmm needed a 4x4 style so found a reasonable Mud blaster.



Bodywork from the subaru brat and a chassis from the Blackfoot/ Monster Beetle. This particular car was hated and never popular.

Sorry to say it, but this was the most rubbish tamiya car ever, I got one and as soon as I built it I broke the front wishbone by being hit by a leaf. It was rubbish
