Thanks, I had a look they're actually a lot cheaper than I expected them to be. Okay postage isn't cheap but it isn't too bad if I order two to split it a little.

I would also add for 190 mm
BMW M1
Miura SV
Lotus Esprit S1.. Bond James Bond
for my M chassis passion
Aston Martin DB5 .. Do you expect me to talk?
Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ
Porsche 550 Spider
Porsche 356
Alfa Romeo 4C
As for Killerbody.. when they started out back in 2013 I had very hi hopes for them. Their quality is superb close to Tamiya and the owner is a car guy. I did a bit of consulting for them.. or maybe it was consluting
Take a look at the Alfa Tipo 33 Stradale.. it’s a work of art.. still have one new in bag
He also paid his licensing fee’s.. but his sales never took off. I made intros to a few online shops for them but they were not successful in getting their product into the stores state wide.
In USGT, I ran their Lancia Stratos Turbo, Alfa 155, Alfa TZ3 Corsa. The Stratos Turbo handled really well.
He now seems to have ventured off into Infinity War stuff which I don’t get but then again.. his heavy investment in RC bodies didn’t take off.. shame.

RC is somohow split between those guys that lives for the lap time, and those romantic that loves to see a "model".
Licensing a body is a real mess, companies are charging quite a nice amount of money to gives the right to reproduce their job.
Somehow is right... there is an huge amount on their side, to make the real car.
Just would like to deal on a more affortable figures.

We have similar taste. We opened up our VTA rules to include Euro and Japanese vintage cars. I presently run the Porsche RSR by Tamiya.. would love the 3.0 CSL.

A Ferrari 312PB would be pretty amazing also, they are such cool looking cars...
Are wedge shaped cars easier to pull a mold of? Thinking of attempting a mold, maybe a slab sided Chevron B-21.

A 356 would be amazing but it seems that in RC, much like in slot cars, manufacturers seem to just keep making 911’s...

I'm currently attempting a '61 Ferrari Sharknose. As the mold has a couple of undercuts, I'm building the mold in two detachable pieces. I'll post some pics as soon as there's some progress in this project...

Wishlist for both sizes 190 and 200mm for my nitro and electric.
-2002 Dodge Viper GTS-R
-2012-2017 Viper ACR (My #1 want on this list)
-1987 Buick GNX (with a set of wheels to match, I can buy a GN body but it's $70 shipped from aplastics and I'm not sure I want to spend that money, drive it, and possibly scratch it up lol)
-McLaren F1 GTR
-McLaren P1 GTR
-McLaren Senna
-Koenigsegg One:1
-Koenigsegg Jesko
-Pagani Zonda
-Bitty Agata...aka a Lamborghini huracan/aventador hybrid (200mm version is missing)
-Honda S2000 CR
-05-06 Acura RSX TYPE S
-97-02 Acura NSX
-03-05 Acura NSX
-97-02 Acura NSX Rocketbunny
-96-04 Lotus Espirit V8
-Vector M12
-Vector W8
-Ferrari F12
-Ferrari FXX-K
These were the ones off the top of my head. I know some can be imported, but I hate the prices for doing so. Give me a $25 body, not $50+ and then be worried about damaging it or trying to decide which car I want to mount it to, if it were cheaper I could just buy one for each lol
