This is a box-stock Taco minibike from the TD Vandal kit,I would build an army of these is I could but there so darned hard to find,hopefully with the Vandal being re-issued I can stockpile as many of these as possible.I did a pretty basic build up on it,Striped off the chrome and paint,then sprayed a base of tamiya chrome silver and misted clear red and yellow then hand painted everything green.  8CB7C212.jpg   84.35K   17 downloads  8CB7C212.jpg   84.35K   17 downloads  116FBF0.jpg   76.08K   10 downloads  506A06EB.jpg   107K   17 downloads  CD491A64.jpg   97.58K   20 downloads

Nice one Austin. I'm hoping to stock up on Vandal's my own self. I had a Rupp mini just like these as a kid.

• when will the re-issue be out?
• A mini bike parts pack needs to be made with a few of the old mini bikes.
• cool build

I just ordered tacos over the phone, turned this on and wala! It reminds me of the first Mini Bike I ever rode on. I would love to have one. Yours is cool!

All i've seen on the Vandal is "fall release" so honestly it could be anytime between now and next spring. I'm not counting on it just yet though as kits like this have a bad habit of getting cancelled. I hope it's not the case with this one though.

My next two will be based on the ones from part of a show from the 60's.Here's a link to the video. I just like the idea of the minibike "Dog fight".
