it's a beautiful body. you can log in at the shop and submit a support ticket requesting mini-z order/restock this for you.

It looks like alot of these older bodies are coming back. I have seen many bodies available in Japan that have been unavailable for awhile:

All the Mclarens inlcuding Gulf
All the CLK DTM's

I can only imagine that the GT3's will be available soon.

Tip: Ebay is your friend. Will point you to sites that sell bodies around $25 with buy it now links...

i'm also looking for one. that one shop on ebay will most likely get it faster if kyosho ever re-stock these since they're based in japan. i've bought my white Enzo and red 575gtc from them long before the white Enzo's back in stock in US.

The 1/10 Tamiya GT-2 ?

I have the Tamiya 1/10th and I have this 1/24 GT-2 Tamiya model kit mounted on a Kawada Tripmate. I found it on eb@y 5 years ago. It is a shelf queen one off.
The Kyosho GT-3 is nice too.




This is the 1/10 Tamiya File Photo.

Phil is correct it's lexan.

What makes it more special is the vacuum form is a 3 peice mold not a 1 peice like 95% of lexan bodies.

This 3 peice method is a lot more expensive and time consuming to make because it is more labor intensive to vacuum form it.

But with the 3 peice mold you get the front and rear bumpers to tuck under for a much more finished look.

The rear wing is hard plastic.

Also, adding to the scale effect the rear A-arms were flipped to give it a Correct shorter wheel base and wider rims give true wide body width to the rear. Tamiya called this chassis ( Based on a TA02) the TA02SW
( ShortWide.) Another difference is the traditional TA02 uses red plastic in the kit but the TA02SW uses charcoal peices.

You can really appreciate the detail when you compare it to an HPI Porche.
