dougwintz Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 These Tamiya kits are always fun and challenging to put together. I usually try and get spare set of decals since the originals start to show their age. Here are the Mazda 787b and the Toyota 88C-V 2
happy grumpy Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Outstanding pair. Excellent paint job and decals. You're right, old decals are a challenge. There are some pictures that could pass for the real thing.
4mula1fan Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 I like to build that type as well. They display and show very nicely. Great job on your pair!
dougwintz Posted February 23, 2022 Author Posted February 23, 2022 Thanks for the positive comments, guys. I have built a few of them too. ....see pics. 1 1
Silver Foxx Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Two real nice builds , nice detail work as well .
iamsuperdan Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 These look great. I have that Toyota. Makes me want to get it started.
Nacho Z Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 Group C……love ‘em! A very nice pair you have shared with us. It looks to me that the ones in the display case are just as nice!
stinkybritches Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 Love Group C cars. These look great.
Mattilacken Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 Sweet builds! Love these old extreme racers!
TonyK Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 Excellent work! Love these type of racing cars.
Safire6 Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Nice collection! I wish Tamiya still offered some of these, I don't see them on their website. How old are these kits?
Hans1971 Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 Marvellous collection ! Group C cars are my favourites !
8915civicnut Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 Nicely done! Good looking collection of group c cars. I have that 787 b kit still in plastic just waiting for the right time to get to it.

How old are these kits? Some of them show up on on modelroundup.com. I see the Nissan R390 there today. upcalehobbies.com and megahobby.com has the Sauber Mercedes. Those are US. Otherwise, you have to look overseas at hiroboy.com or spotmodel.com. But the shipping charges are really really high.

By the way, model roundup, megahobby.com, hiroboy.com and spotmodel.com all have great customer service. Hiroboy is in UK, Spotmodel is in Spain. I have not used UpscaleHobbies yet.
