Zarana-X Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) This is a Tamiya kit. Almost a toy, its motorized, 4 wheel drive. It comes with a "bumper" to protect it. The labels are stickers, so I didn't use them. Its supposed to be a military themed vehicle, and is actually a miniature version of one of their RC cars. They also made a Samurai/Jimny and Baja Bug in this style, but I think those are OOP. All in all, a fun, simple kit but with good detail for what it is. The scale is 1/32 but "charicaturized" like Dave Deals kits. Edited December 16, 2013 by Zarana-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarana-X Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 I bought it intending to paint it like the box art, but it comes with a sicker sheet, instead of decals. I'm not using stickers on a model, so I went with a different color. I just got Revell's snaptite Humvee, since its the only way to get it in 1/24, and it comes with stickers, too. Is this the current trend? how are kids going to learn how to apply decals if you give them stickers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarana-X Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Was looking at this the other day and got embarrassed I didn't paint the hubs and lug nuts Had to remedy that: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been doing it since the early '90's- the original Revell Caprice cop car had stickers instead of decals. I have no idea why- I personally find waterslide decals to be easier (and more forgiving) to apply, not to mention more realistic. I just can't follow Revell's way of thinking on including sticker graphics on snap kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbox55 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I have a couple of those stashed away, one complete, and another I got from a friend who only wanted the tires and wheels from it. I also have the 1/10 scale RC that it's based on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
