Hi,

 

A - MPC Manta Ray

I - Lola T70 Midori

J - Marauder from Testor with Russkit chassis in very bad condition and many holes...

D and K - probably Lotus from Tamiya, D a 30, and K probably a modified 40.

L - Dynamic

 

... and that's all from me... I need better pictures and my reading lenses.

 

Cheers,

 

Jesus

G'day Old Pilot, Thank you.

 

I thought the MPC Manta Ray was a sidewinder, and spotted a Nichimo Manta Ray with in-line chassis, but it looks different to the one in my photo.  So I'm unsure.

 

Yeah, the pictures are not very clear.

[Old Pilot]

Ooops...

 

It's true... the MPC chassis is different...

And also the body is different. The gas tap in the MPC is in the other side.

So it's a Nichimo I suppose...

 

I opened the vitrine to see mine... and taking a closer look to the Midori Lola... it's correct... Midori.

The Lola from Midori looks really similar to Tamiya, but it's a Midori. The bulge? in the cockpit is not a perfect square and the hole in the front bonnet is angled.

I have Tamiya and Midori, both in my hands.

Lucky fellah.

[Old Pilot]

Not so lucky... due to a strange reason I decided long ago to collect T70s... A silly thing keeping a lot of cars all the same, but I love them... and also a lot of clear bodies almost the same...
 
Do not tell to my wife, please...

I think C was once a Tamiya Prince and it's been chopped to look like a Ford GT Spyder - anyone else ?

[slotbaker]

Thanks gluebomb.

 

I was thinking C was a Tamiya Ferrari P330 P2, but the photo is not clear, and I'm not smart enough to know for sure.

Hey steve,

The Tamiya P2 has some grill at the back deck, is more curved around the windshield etc - almost looks like the Tamiya Ford GT but again missing some details. Have a look at the Prince here though:

Maybe ? If so, that would possibly ID chassis N as the Tamiya inline that's sprung at the back.

G'day Simon,

That looks pretty close on both counts.

I think I'll go with that untill it's proven otherwise.

Thanks
