Tamiya 1/10 RC Sand Scorcher - The next project has arrived!

The postie delivered a very welcome (and very large) package from Japan yesterday.

It's a Tamiya Sand Scorcher remote control 1970s VW Baja Bug. I've always loved this kit, and I figured it's time to give it a crack. I've not messed about with RC since the late 1980s (holy shit, that is a long time ago...)

This is a 2010 re-release from Tamiya, it's not an original 1979 kit. I found a bargain on ebay, and also received a 10% promotional code from ebay, and these combined made this much more affordable so I decided to just bite the bullet and do it.

I actually saw a 1/1 scale (i.e. real life) Sand Scorcher buggy at the Tamiya HQ when I visited four months ago, and that original colour scheme is pretty irresistible. You can see the life size version at the 14:26 mark in my video.

So once I finish The Seahorse I can move on to this next project. Exciting!

Cheers,

Dave
