Nice that. I have managed to get a set of wheels from the Johnny Express truck that were used (slightly modified) on the original. Will make one someday!
I love the 60's Tamiya products, much more stylish than Bandai, Aoshima or Imai! (I had an Apollo 1 kit that was beautifully presented) Tamiya did not have a big Gerry Anderson range, so this is a nice change of pace for them and with box art by the legendary Shigeru Komatsuzaki -how could they go wrong?
P.S. Have you read Shunsaku Tamiya's autobiography? It's a great read!

ReplyDeleteLook forward to it Kev. Is that what you got the wheels for?
DeleteNot really sure because several vehicles used them. The Shado mobile transport lorry for example.
