Hi there :)

[_TRF_]

My Name is Michael and i'm from Austria.

I've been in modelling since i was a boy back in the late 70ties.

First i started plastik modelling and then followed by RC-Cars.

As Tamiya-Freak i got about 70 RC-Cars and many NIB RC-kits.

I used to race the Tamiya cars in the Tamiya-Cup series a few year ago, but

since work and family took more time, there was no time left for serious RC-Car racing.

So i started 1/18 and 1/24 car modelling and driving and racing Kyosho MiniZ.

But Kyosho MiniZ always are RTR (ready to run) there was nothing left for modelling,

so i started to combine them and make my own Kyosho MiniZ bodies.

Mostly i took 1/24 kits, such as Tamiya Alfa Romeo Sprint GTA and rebuilt them as MiniZ

Today i got 3 Alfa Romeo GTA Junior with homemade widened fenders, 1 Ford Escort MK1,

2 VW Karmann Ghia's racing, 1 Opel Commodore GS/E, 1 Renault 8 Gordini and 1 BMW 2002.

Adapting the Kyosho MiniZ's wheelbase is sometimes a little difficult to fit the chassis to the body.

The MiniZ's wheelbase can be modified from 86mm to 102mm within 4mm steps, so sometimes a

little crafting is necessary.

So that's engough for this time - please appologize for my English, but i'm native German speaker.

All the best

Michael
