Awesome, thank you! I've always enjoyed this car and have been captivated by its design (or cloning). I recently "restored" mine as best as I could with what I have. I do have a handful of spare parts, but everything has been well used. Neat to see what these looked like new.gomachv wrote:Cool, I have a busy work week but I'll scsn it over the weekend

Re: Academy Nissan 300ZX "The Awesome One" Super Alta clone
Sorry I've been slacking due to long hours at work. I promise I will try to get that scan up soon
Also, love em or hate em.... I sent the 300zx body to TBG and the scans of the stickers (both sheets) to MCI for repro. This is too cool of a 1/12 body to not share. The paintwork and mounting on the cover are terrible, but in person it has nice lines

Re: Academy Nissan 300ZX "The Awesome One" Super Alta clone
I'm in no hurry. I've had this car since 1989 without a manual, so I can wait a bit longer. If TBG produces this body, I'll definitely pick one up on my next order (if I remember). I do have an original body, but its had a rough life.

Re: Academy Nissan 300ZX "The Awesome One" Super Alta clone
I just picked up another one of these off eBay and it arrived yesterday. Its new and never been run, but the body has been painted. Its missing a couple pieces, but it came with a box, manual and complete sticker sheets! I'm very excited to have gotten this! Sorry, no pics at the moment.

Cool! Need to post parts of my runner at some point... not much of a runner for 20 years now to be honest, I *think* I recall it's got a broken front spindle... any suggested off-the-shelf replacement? Then I could drop some cheap electronics in it and go have fun !
