Ha! Don’t be hard on yourself Keith, we all have the same affliction…err I mean love of the limited kits!

The avante and the porsche are awesome. So tamico is a subsidiary of Tamiya?? I don’t recall ever seeing any of them

Nice looking avante edition!

Think collectors are getting tired with all the re releases and limited edition kits coming out so fast. I can tell you I'm exhausted with the re re's from Team Associated too fast too soon.

Nope, not for me. Looks cool though. Will enjoy any video of someone building one 😉🤝

I acctually like the Tamico Avante out of them all 😁 would i have got one if poss, oh hell yeah. But with the Halsey rc10 and cougar 2 works ive slightly over spent as it is. And like you say, the misses wouldnt have a clue 😂 im half tempted to shift some kits as a swb cat has popped up on ebay 😭

I actually like the colour scheme of this one, it looks pretty good. I wouldn't buy one though....

Regarding the Earth Force: it looks a bit like a jet as you say, that would be the Air Force. This one is not flying (much), therefore Earth Force... I would prefer if the wheels were a darker green, or silver.

I like that livery !

I love my original Avante.. I struggled with the black version.. definitely no love for the green version.. the original Avante is a great looking car, but was ultimately a bit of a failure as a race car.. which made it's price tag hard to justify in 1988.. I think it still has that same problem now..

I really like the look of it with the green wheels and the new livery however I have a standard Avante on the way and I definitely can’t afford both!👍👍

I'm just thinking about it. It's close to my racing team livery. And it's a Black Edition, meaning it has the ball raised steering. Original parts're removed when changed. Beside the stickersheet, there you get the original, too, because of the cabin. Thanks for showing Keith. I'll check their announcement video again, maybe I can figure out the meaning of the name. Edit: They don't explain tgeorigin of the name, so I have to guess. They they the look is drived form war planes (Mustang, Spitfire) and it's a car. So my guess is Airforce -> Earthforce

Very cool, I Love the color combination. Not sure if I'll try to buy one. I have the Tamico 934. I wonder if the prices on the Avante will go through the roof in a decade......

How does Tamico have the rights to Tamiya products?

The Avante Black decals are still in the kit. you need some of the decals from that sheet. And indeed, the Tamiya wheels and tires are not in the kit. Tbh. The price wasn't that much higher over the standard kit. So, since i needed a brother for your Avante 2001, i also pulled the trigger on this one.

Yeah very cool idea and obviously popular, but like you said Keith will this become a trend! The new competition on the Tamiyaclub has the earth Avante as its winning prize! I just won the last competition so it's well worth having a pop😉👍 The limited thing is the draw for sure!

I confess I have one as well ;) early Xmas present from my Dad. I got it because I simply like the livery and the wheels etc and to get it to the UK it worked out less than if Id wanted a new regular Avante. I’ve not done a video on it myself. Although it’s in the background of my hornet Evo unboxing 😜 so basically if you like it , that’s all that matters

The Avante looks good. I like it. I wonder how many will even get built. It doesn't matter. I'm cool with that!

That avante is sweet want to get a runner used one some day. Thank for sharing.. Take care bud...

That RSR 934 Porsche is absolutely bloody gorgeous. Looks awesome. Keith , the CJ7 decals arrived today. Simply very much appreciated and very humbled. Best regards to you and the family

Love it 👍🏻

Yep, the Avante Black decals are in the box but everything else has been removed. I have built mine and it's 95% done, I'm just painting the driver today and its finished. It looks good when built but I did change up the painting a little. My video will be out tomorrow, it's just taken me a while to build and film it as it's a detailed full build in one video. The Porsche is the best Tamico 333 kit so far for sure :)

I think your right on the 934 being the one but all versions you got of Tamico. The livery on the Avante black looks nice. Not sure on Earth Force though I’d like to know too. Happy Holidays brother.😊

they are vanquish wheels......

It is interesting, but not must have to be honest, Cheers as always !

You could throw a woman's hygiene product sponsor on an Avante, and I'd still buy it. Thanks for sharing, Keith.

Yes it's pretty pricey but for Germany the price isn't much higher than if you just buy a standard Avanti black. So if you don't already have one and you like the look it's a good option. At least here in Germany, I don't know how high the price is in other countries. And the original livery is also in the box but as you said the rims and tires are removed.

I suppose it’s a great way to get rid of old non selling stock , take the black parts out , replace with other parts out as sell for more , and sell the original parts on at same time , needless to say , i am also a sucker and mine is in the post (uk customs to be exact) 😂

I would like to know what jet it commemorates.

I would have Baught none of those kits I’m more rc10 Losi vintage stuff

Avante would look nice with a Castrol livery. IMO. I have a hard time NOT building kits, collectible or otherwise.

Hey Keith, a very nice Tamico editions to your collection. Almost like with full size cars, manufacturers offer the same car, but body design twist, like VW for example, with their Audi, Seat and Skoda brands, the car being technically the same, but with their own design of bodies. 😊😂😊best wishes my friend. 😊

I like idea but as a purist, i dont know how i feel about non Tamiya branded parts being used for the kit. It takes away the special feel of the kit & makes it seem more like a money making kit. Thanks for posting the video, great to get your & everyones thoughts

Awesome collector cars.

It looks quite good but I don’t need another Avante black chassis, I’d buy the body kit

seems good👍

The Avante does look pretty cool im just shocked that you left it sealed 😂😂

I guess the idea behind the weird earth force is: considering it runs on the ground.. instead of air force.. earth force.. plus pace car!? To me the only real special part are the decals.. which maybe will popup at mci?😅

Still looking for a link to someone who has or seals kyosho ultima ii parts. I have the yellow one from 1987-1989. And trying to rebuild it. Please can you help. Please

It is cool but not one I was excited for. I have yet to get a regular Avante so going after a short run one I would build or run did not make sense at this time. It is neat they do these but should probably stick to the lesser expensive kits honestly.

I do like the look of the new Avante they did, body is great and stickers also. It could be an interesting thing if they did limited releases like this of some cars now and then but not start releasing shit like all the RC10's that are coming out recently.... Gavin is almost finished his car so a vid soon will be out no doubt. Price is always my over ruling factor with kits and this ones not cheap but not much is these days.

I feel that they were a little lazy again with the kit, just a sleeve, wheels and a decal sheet. When they do these collector limited edition sets I wish they would make it truely limited and unique. It was a hard pass on the avante for me and like you mentioned they are still for sale 3+ weeks after the release

Cool to see them all 3. Love the look of the Tamico Avanti.

I'm still looking around for the Hornet Evo, sold out everywhere down here.

You should start getting into airplanes.

Nice Tamico collection.........................................

You need a new in box MX4 for your collection, very rare nowadays.

Hey Keith, some great new additions to your library of RC cars 😊😊the Kyosho Optima is coming along nicely, I’m onto the bodywork now, it’s a slow but very enjoyable process. Best wishes to you and the family 🙏🖐️😎

Nice cars!!!
