Default New Toy

Bought a new toy this week:



Now, I can't decide what colour to paint it, Berlina is the obvious choice given the extra BHP it produces but I quite fancy IOP, what do you reckon?*

*Suggestions for Silverslow will not be entertained

buy steel bearings before you assemble. It'll save a reassemble. Colour? Don't bother - it'll be knackered in 2 runs.

I think that they got it right by putting the fastest colour on the front of the box

Talking to a guy in a model shop in Bath and he said that the normal plastic Tamiya S2000 kit (not the one pictured above) is now discontinued.

Back On topic I like this a lot. Pray tell where you purchased such a toy??
