Hi Guys, at present, i have 3 Falcons. none of which are shelfies :) up until February the last car I played with was the Frog back in the '80s....
I picked up one at a local bring and buy action for £45 needed some work to get it up and running, and then inevitably bits started to beak off...... not surprising really. considering the age of it..? so the process of CADing and 3D printing pats started as parts are a bit thin on the ground :(
as if one is not enough trouble, another two came my way Fb marketplace, one is completely standard, and the other one has more glue and tape the original parts:S
this is the one I'm working on today:)
will post some pictures a bit later on

Cheers

Steve

Sure! The falcon is one of the poorest tamiya I had.
I bought 3 to restore mine. :D

Yes does seem a bit on the fragile side of things.... not sure if that is just down to the age of the ABS the parts are made from or my bat driving;)

The age and bad conception. My falcon hadn't so much runs and was in very good state when I acquiered it. But one day, I took it by the bumper on the shelf, and the front gearbox broke alone...
