Thanks, it is not the best kit but I love this look of the 73. I did get the Hasegawa kit recently and it is heaps and bouds better than this one. Don't know when I will be able to start it but I hope it comes out half as good looking as this one!
Thank you sir. This one was a pleasure to build and a pleasure to edit. I also like how this one ended up even with the longer run time. Thanks for watching. It is appreciated.
When these kits were first designed many included a small motor that powered the rear wheels. You can still see a lot of the original pieces on the sprues that are not used any longer like a switch for the chassis that turned the motor on and off. It is why the front steering is always so robust, so it dosen't break under the power of the motor. Aoshima, Fujimi, and Tamiya all made cars like this in that era as well as many other Japanese manufacturers such as Arii, Doyusha and more. My guess is that this way it would apeal to both children and modelers as it could be used either way. It is also why the scale on these is so questionable as most chassis were able to be swapped between cars and so they all needed a simiar size and wheelbase so these are not really a true 1/24 scale but still hella fun to build anyway.

@@ScaleAutoGarage my pleasure👍 keep them coming!
Cool
Thank you very much.
I've built a lot of these kits and always wonder what the battery compartment was made for.
I know! When i search the kit motorised it never comes up with anything! Maybe its to rig your own lights?
