Looks great. Typically Tamiya. Love the driver figure too. Not keen on the box art but hopefully it’ll come with a clear body.
looks cool!
It is very different from all the other Avante cars .

Super Avante looks like none of the above. It reminds me of the Frog with Caterham wheel arches. It is unique. I need time to get used to it, but overall it is impressive!
Sorry for disagreeing, but I really think this Super Avante body looks ugly….
But it’s good to have a driver figure and a cockpit again.
This avante looks like a cross between the holiday buggy and the striker but somehow better looking than both. I will be getting one.
