Very enjoyable video Sir! I have restored many vintage Tamiyas myself..... Something so satisfying about stripping, cleaning, servicing and fully rebuilding a car that has history and sentiment associated with it, and in turn giving it a rebirth! Always a challenge when faced with the ageing of vintage ABS plastics, even more so when the car has never been re released and new parts are scarce/long since obsolete. But, once completed the level of satisfaction is so rewarding. Great job my friend. 👌 👍 👍 👍
Very enjoyeble video as always! If Tamiya rereleased the Falcon i would buy it in a heartbeat depite its flaws👍🙂 anyway I am looking forward to the next installment of this project!😀
Would love to be able to get ahold of some spare parts for sure! The Falcon is a favorite among many it seems. Hopefully p2 is done by the weekend 🙏 Appreciate the support as always.
It is a very cool car and it is a shame they have not done a re-release of it. I guess there is a goo bit needed to redesign and make it properly but honestly at this point folks would buy them if they made them exactly the same way!!! It is looking good so far! TBG makes some very nice body sets, I have a dozen or so of them now and all were done well. MCI does have the decals, it is what I used for my rebuild. Looking forward to the next edition and I hope everything run smoothly.
Picked up the decals (this video is actually a few months old) and they look fantastic! Pretty impressed with the TBG body as well. Appreciate the support brother.
Love these videos taking us through the journey pal. I am sure those Bluegroove shells have the wing in the rear of the polycarbonate. At least the Raider one I ordered did. That gearbox was a bit of a mess and I agree with you, must be a reason why we don’t have a rerelease of the Falcon. It would need fixing in some way to provide some longer life. Great video dude 🙌🏻
Thanks my friend. Was a bit on the edge towards the end of that day. Having all those broken gear boxes in front of me knowing it was going to hold up another Falcon from being re born was/is super annoying. It all worked out in the end though. I was able to re use the wing on one of the old bodies...so that worked out as well. Appreciate yhe support brother.
