It is...looks brand new. It doesnt even have dirt or dust. I wonder if it has ever seen some run time? The body has some damage. It needs a new wing...but other than that it looks brand new!

I had to do it. I found a Buy it Now on E-bay for a Tamiya Nissan King Cab. About $140 shipped. It was open for bidding with NO reserve but they are NOT easy to find. I know someone would have got it from Buy it Now so it might as well be me.




The best part is that the ORIGINAL body, decal set and directions are all unused and come with it!!!!!!


I am a happy puppy.
