Tamiya has released a picture of the upcoming Tamiya 84270 Black Avante.

The most exciting thing about the picture is that it shows Hybrid Pin Spike tyreson the model! You may know that the vintage versions of these tyres are next to impossible to get hold of...
The rims seem to be "tear-drop" type, like the Vanquish, Astute, etc.
I hope I am wrong, but the rest seem to be a black painted body with new decals. Not really comparable to the "Black Porsche" which was very much different from the green Porsche 934.

i think the blue one looks much better

I wouldn't object to having this one either though...

Good pics of the new Black Avante:

Man, this car is brilliant.

Just ordered one from Rcmart

Wow, lucky you!
Will we see a build thread soon?

Not sure when I will build it, though. I have just finished building my plain vanilla rere Avante, as well as restored my original Avante. So actually I'm a bit "fed up" with that chassis type..... At the moment I'm doing some work on my Optima Mid Special, and I have original Hotshot and Supershot bodies to paint to complete those builds. Just waiting for some warmer weather... Not wise to spray in -10 deg C. I'm planning to make photo threads with both the Avante pair and the Hotshot/Supershot/Boomerang.

So much I want to do, but so little time

Those wheels -

The last time I same anything that cheap, plastic & nasty looking it came out of a Christmas Cracker
