Yes, unfortunately the tyres in my tiger stripe kit had got off. You could almost squeeze them into a big rubber ball mass 

I tried to bring them back to life , but it was useless - so I found this new set. 

 

Dude! Nice one. Except hubs and decals, wich differences between the vanquish and the vqs? Can't wait to see your thread about this build.

I'm not sure, but I snagged this form the site description:
• New Parts: Aluminum front uprights and efficient universal shafts are designs inherited from the 2011 re-issue of the Avante (Item 58489).

I'm not familiar enough with either kit, but I'll be adding any of the vintage style decals that aren't on the rere decal sheet, using MCI.

Thanks Todd. 

I love it when something from Tamiya arrives in a Tamiya outer box. 

1:14th Globe Liner  - looks like these are still made in Japan. And look at that nice box presentation.


 

Oh yeah. Trucks are Amazing to build.

I have a NIB VQS and a NIB Vanquish - I can take a look and see if I can tell what maybe different Flo , but I don't think it's much. 

There is also this video from David Joos. 

Yes it should be nice Michael.
