HI!... Got this Tamiya MADCAP off of Ebay. I'll be restoring this one to out of box condition. It will get full ball bearings though.

HI!... Well some parts showed up for the "MADCAP" today. :mrgreen:

Let me know if you need Madcap plastic parts. I have a few NIP left.

HI!... Got the Body cut out today. Will be painting soon. :mrgreen:

HI!... Got the "MADCAP" body painted. Didn't turn out as I would of liked. Used NIP masking tape designed for painted. Dam paint bled under it and through it in a few spots. :roll: Even though I went over it with my thumbnail and pressed it down good. I believe the decals will cover 90% of it. After that I'll probably just touch up the visibly spots.

HI!... Well I finally got around to putting the MADCAP decals on. Turned out pretty good. This project is now 100% done. :mrgreen:

Great job! It is looking really good!

I think that showing some bigger pictures wouldn't hurt the thread at all...

Good work on the resto!

I have mixed feelings about the Madcap, though... The chassis itself looks like it could have been a reasonably good chassis for club racing etc, but with the poor "dampers" and the weird geometry on the suspension arms, it probably does not work very well.

Anyway, just because of these "flaws" the Madcap is interresting as a model, especially when you know that many Astute owners/racers back in the day replaced their Astute rear suspension with Madcap parts!

Thanks - I know this.
I was suggesting that some pictures might look better on the forum itself when they are a bit larger.
