Tamiya should have come out with a Japanese model instead for their 40th anniversary: 1976 Toyota or other, not a Porsche.
It should be as original as possible....

The Taisan 911 GT2 was the original (and for a long time, the only) body released on the TA02SW chassis, and that was released in 1996 (twenty years since their first release, and 20 years ago this year). And while the Jagermeister livery is gorgeous and fitting, it also means the Valiant livery stays a classic, without a rerelease.

I'm stoked about the factory brand new hopups for the TA02 chassis as well. Most of these parts have been quite difficult to come by as the years have gone on, and now they're coming in-box. If there's a way to mount the rear stabilizer bar on the SW, it'd have all the hopups minus the foam bumper.
