This 12 scale re issued Tamiya kit is the next large scale model car that I will build, I may substitute the XF-16 that Tamiya recommend for the Alclad II Aluminium. This kit first appeared back in the '70's and has a workable steering and suspension system, the only addition Tamiya have included to update the kit is the large photo etched sheet and the drivers harness, as this is a re-issue the plastic molding has been produced in the Philippines, all of Tamiya's kit that are re-issued after a long absence have all corresponding identification details removed from the sprue. This model measures 38.1cm in length when finished.
