Hi Ian,

Given what you originally said about your car I suspect it is one of the Older Kyoshos like mine.
I was after the Celica shell originally too but ended with with a choice of the Honda NSX (which I now have) or the AMG Mercedes Shells. Both of these at 280mm wheelbase length. (The Wheels on My NSX are as wide as yours but fit inside the shell perfectly) (It is 200mm wide also)
I ordered my shell from www.alansmodels.co.uk and they provided an excellent, friendly and very prompt service in finding the shell for me (by contacting Kyosho direct) and providing a very prompt delivery too....!!!
The sad part is that they were planning on selling up the business when I ordered my shell, so I am not sure if they are still going or not....I think the idea was to sell the business as an ongoing concern so it is probably just in the hands of new owners now.

The website is certainly still live.

Try the link and drop them an e-mail...The other alternative is too look at the HPI Supersize shells, there are a couple there that will fit your car, Yes they are 200mm but have the extra width on the wings (as per real cars) so those wheels should fit in.

www.hpieurope.com

And to Other Iain...That Thunder Tiger in My pics is Actually a MK1 DT10 (quite an old car now)

Hope this helps...!!

Regards.......Mark

Hi Ian the pics you posted of the car that you seen at your model shop is a Thunder Tiger EB4 S2 not the S3 Iain posted a link to as i have the one before that one and is a great car and is sort of crossed between a S1 and a S2 EB4,and they are pretty fast when tuned right and i have afew upgrades fitted on mine but it hasn't been used for two years now also i have the Citroen xsara body shell on that car aswell as the Scooby shell too.

Here's my thread on my TT RallyGame http://www.scale-models.co.uk/showthread.php?t=630


The bodyshell you bought looks super always love the Ford Escort RS Cosworths shells i have one on my Kyosho GP Landmax but the newer Designed Cosworth the one with the smaller boot spoiler.
