Lunchboxer, you and I have a lot of the same tastes in Tamiya Cars. I bought my WW2 and it sat in the box for about a year. then I bought a used one which my neighbor begged me to sell to him. After I put a radio in his, I realized just how much fun they were. so I built mine up. I kept the new body to do something special with and bought a couple of used ones to run with.
Here is my WW2
