I have one of those TC-3 models, built in the early 80's. I had a real one, brand new in 1979. Bright orange with black interior. They had VW engines, I believe, 1.7 liters. Mine was a 4-speed stick. Good little car! Sam
I had a set of those from circa 1962. I think they were freebies from AW when I bought some other stuff from them. A few are still on some of my old models from those times! They must have used good glue on them! Sam
Those are the kit wheels, David. I drilled out the circle of holes in the wheels that were just molded depressions, and painted the wheel inner halves black. I think it looks a bit better that way.
