Hello,

To day I present you the renovation of one classical Tamiya Model : The Hornet

It’s my third presentations after the Dynastorm
(tamiyabase.com/...art-1.html)
and the Boomerang
(tamiyabase.com/...erang.html)

It’s an original Hornet (not the re-issue!!! ). There is two years it slept in a box.

I was lucky because the old (and only owner) is someone careful and in more the car rolled that some packs.

After the usual dismantling/cleaning I began the reconstruction replaced spares missing or used by new ones: a pair of rear tires , a body, a pilot and a RS torque tuned 540

I added him a "vintage" electronics, servo and electronic 41MHz with futaba radio.

Once reassembly was ended, pilot paints, I took care of the body.
I chose a silvered green Tamiya, of one part because is beautiful and also because in my youth I was a fan of the green hornet from Marvel.

Some pictures

Body painted before stickers add-on (see drivers and two lighthouses)




Car finished

Very nice.

Nice Hornet Pascal. You always build famous restos

Looks awesome.

Looks better IMHO than the box art version. It just needs the Green Hornet symbol placed strategically amongst the Tamiya decals & the driver painted in his colours.

Looks much better than box art.

rere decals; but it is really nice. I will give you my bodies to paint
