Continuing my inexplicable soft spot for underwhelming RWD buggies, I bought this Falcon a while back (before Tamiya Nut offered his up for sale), so far I've managed to resist its charms & it's safe in the box for the moment ... not really sure what I'll do with it, body is a bit rough but I'll try tidying the edges & a clean/polish before replacing it, tub underside will polish up, bumper probably won't ....

It is a so nice falcon
Mine has all the front pieces destroyed by time. I don't how it makes to be on the tub
Very nice. Just the pilot is missing. Like mine

PS I have the same remote on my mad cap

Nicer condition than mine was when i first got it should clean up well

I am sure that they are common pieces between falcon and other cars. (I know that the bathtube is common with the bearhawk) I am interested for the front

Found & painted up a spare driver for the Falcon:

Someone would have a nice stckers set for a falcon? same a repro?
Cheer

My bad experience with caustic soda

I put my other body on my fast reinforcing falcon.
the body need a small resto but TGB one is comming soon.
I put a parma skid Under the front bumper It looks good

TBG shell arrived ... I had to pay import duties, taking the total cost to 40 GBP

Something I've been wondering about though, why does an entry level car have a boxart paintjob that needs such intricate & fiddly masking? Or did Tamiya pitch the Falcon as a serious racer at the time?

Decals are homemade, printed on white or clear vinyl as appropriate, cut out & clearcoated ...
