1987 Mr2 body
 
1987 Mr2 body for a tc3 or r40. If anyone can find such a body for a 1/10th scale car, wow...you'll be remembered in the after life. :)

I've been looking for a body like that for years. Haven't found one yet, but maybe somebody knows somthing. I can't even find a static model of the MK1 series MR2.

I build plastic models, Fujimi is my favorite Japanese company. They are only curb sides, so they are very easy to build, but you can get just about any JDM car from them.

Good luck finding an MR2... I used to own an MKII in the mid-90s and was feverishly seeking for a company who made a body of it. Was fortunate enough to find this one, but unfortunately a bit too late... Already sold the real car, so had to sell this rare piece a few years ago too! Fetched for some REAL good money because of rarity... :nod: (Not sure on who made it ***maybe Kawada? Just lucky to find it at a closing out hobby store... circa 2000)

Hey Ian....

Yes that was a Kawada, when they were located here in Seattle we used to see stacks of those bodies on the shelves.......

What does "curb sides" mean. I made 30 or 40 car models in my youth so I'm really looking fowards to building this one.

A curb side is a model without an engine. It is just the body and interior. The bottom of the chassis is also molded from one piece of plastic. I find that most imported kits are curbsides. The US kits like Revell, etc.. have detailed engines and chassis, hope this helps, enjoy.
