Tamiya Avante

Meanwhile in The Model Car world, the 'fanboys' of the biggest model car company in the world are slathering over this re-release:

It's LIKE getting Fortress Maximus re-released. It's THAT important. No one was expecting it to be done.

All of the over engineered fiddly little bits are being remade and brought together.

This car was shockingly bad to drive competitively and keep in one piece, BUT it was a work of art and engineering marvel.

I like this because it's shiny.

But but but... Not sure why it's so good if it was bad to drive? I guess there are some US Muscle Cars like that rather than finely tuned Italian super cars.

My brother used to have a Tamiya Hornet. Cute little thing! Friend had a Lunchbox which was a big boxy Van bodykit. Never drove them in a serious manner but fun to take out and do jumps.
