I'm going to be attempting to paint a Masami B3 body, the one that is on the side of the box with Masami holding two trophies.

Much need photos of this body is wanted...needed, for me to paint this. All I have it the photo on the B3 box to go by.

Any help will be appreciated!!!!

I think I have an RCCA magazine with a full feature on his B3. I'll try to post some scans next week.

Awesome, thanks Dave!

I posted this from the archive, but it's kind of low quality Wish I could be more helpful, at least the info is there for reference.

Thanks Jason, but it's not on that page. I think Rod was telling me it's the car that's on the B2 conversion kit? I would scan the photo I have, but don't have a scanner with me.

It's the third car from his knee on the right side. I could tell by the wing...green, pink on the inside fins with shadowing at base of wing/fin and the number on the left.

Here's a better photo, I'll update the other thread I started too

No that's not it! That one is later! The first World's with the B3 is what we are looking for!

You want pics of Masami's 1997 world's TQ car... He didn't win that year.

This is the buggy I'm looking for. It must be a rare one.

if you "like" him on facebook, and politely ask him for pics of that car, i bet he'll send them to ya.

I'm not too Facebook savy. I tried finding friends using his name and didn't find anything concrete. Does he have a Facebook page that's RC related?

since masami and i are bff's , i'll send him an email for you. but don't expect a reply right away.

Any help is appreciated. Maybe mention that it's going to be used in Rod's 25 years of RC10 comparison testing. It's going to be used on the B3 test runner.

I'll post more as I find and scan them.
