Alvarez Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Really nice 53HRA, don't see many of these as they can be expensive and are limited to where you can run them however yours is a great example. Like the little details of the packets and bottle on the dash, is there also a nude ladies calender in there some where too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster922 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 The scaled doritos tangy cheese crisp packet is such a nice touch, and the lighting it great. Well done with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiM! Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 hmm not as big i thought they where actualy manny. TWSS! Anyway, must, think, of, something, on, topic. With a trailer on they are massive. The trailers are like 3 times the length of a 1/10 touring car. Saw one built up and sat next to a 1/10 tourer in hamleys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53HRA Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 I got a trailer in the post today,but its a bruder one,so is smaller than a standard Tamiya one.Its roughly 65cm in length. Pics to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
