Can’t wait to start on my 1987 hornet restoration. Still got the futaba gear warranty card with it that was dated December 22, 1987, and the manual and even the remaining factory decals that were never used..
My very first Tamiya car, so many great memories! Great video Andy, btw Fusion Hobbies are re-releasing the Storm Dragon on the Hornet chassis soon. One to look out for👍www.fusionhobbies.com/product/47438-tamiya-super-storm-dragon
That aerial pipe is quite straight! I take it that's a replacement? When you mentioned the shell was restored, is it the original shell or a new one? Thanks... Lovely car :O)
Hi Jonathan , ha ha yes the ariel pipe was new , from what i remember as it wasn’t my car the body was the original and mark who built it bough some nos decals for it . Many thanks :)
@@andyrobinsonrc2480 thanks, just wondered especially as the shell looked new. I have an old 80s hornet and it'd be nice to breath new life into it and wasn't sure whether to get a new shell or repaint the original. 👍

That’s cool, love it when you pick one up that’s got all the history to it, makes it just that little bit more special.
