Tamiya Fast Attack Vehicle, new built!

Photos, build, & writeup at http://www.UltimateTamiya.com/buggies/fast-attack-vehicle/ . A true classic from 1984, the Tamiya Fast Attack Vehicle (FAV) chassis was only ever used on one other release, the more popular Wild One. I purchased this car as a NIB kit and built it in 2010. It is freehand airbrushed to a careful hybrid of the box art and the manual's slightly different suggested scheme. These video clips were from its one & only drive. More new and classic builds are on the way at Ultimate Tamiya!

Is this a new version of the vintage Wild One?
