Tamiya Busa - OhzOne - 01-06-2002 I found these models via a link on suzukihayabusa.org There is listed a Regional Dealer for Australia called The Toy Traders PTY LTD phone 02-9749-1733 this appears to be a quality model and as soon as I can I am going to contact them regarding purchase of one Does anybody know if the model is readily available?? Brian Website http://www.tamiya.com/english/show0205/news0205/news5.htm#14090 Re: Tamiya Busa - WARD P - 02-06-2002 I wonder how strong the subframe is??? Re: Tamiya Busa - demeester - 03-06-2002 It should be fine - they appear to be 02 models... Re: Tamiya Busa - Ozibusa - 03-06-2002 Actually Richard, if you look at the punch outs, the sub frame appears to be an alloy one... bottom photo RHS, squished between the two frame halves. I'm lead to believe that the bare bones photo in the middle was taken while they were waiting for the steel replacement from the factory... damn those Tamiya guys are good Tamiya Busa - OhzOne - 03-06-2002 You will be pleased to know that my wife contacted the above supplier and the product list he has does not list the Model and he does not expect it to change till the end of the year (typical eh?) So it looks like I will be buying overseas If anyone hears of a supplier here who is willing to get the model in could you let me know Brian ability2@nw.com.au Tamiya Model Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa Series number 90 Model (14090) Re: Tamiya Busa - jessie928 - 04-06-2002 www.hlj.com/cgi-local/hlj...i?TAM14090 Guys, see the above link. i've ordered from these people before, prompt service!!

Re: Tamiya Busa - Lethal Busa - 05-06-2002 what was your final cost including freight is anyone else thinking of ordering one Aussie Dollars Keith Price - OhzOne - 05-06-2002 The final price is 2400yen for the model the postage has not been confirmed but will be approx 880yen 2400yen = $34.00Aussie 880yen = $12.40 Total $46.40 Aussie it all depends on the exchange rate of course The model is not available till July 2002 Brian Models now Shipping - OhzOne - 20-07-2002 HobbyLink Japan now have the Tamiya models in and are shipping if anyone is interested Brian www.hlj.com/cgi-local/hlj...i?TAM14090 Re: Models now Shipping - Wun Hung Lo - 28-07-2002 Just ordered one tonight,has anyone else ordered one and if so what is the quality like? Busa Model - OhzOne - 07-08-2002 I Just received my Tamiya Models and the detail work is excellent, for example all the ribs on the footpegs are well defined, the fins on the radiator look realistic, the Brake Levers are highly detailed with Philips screws moulded into the reservoir caps even the welds on the Frame have been reproduced. The Tyres are Dunlop Sportsmax (The name finely moulded into the tyre). Anybody with a 2002 Busa are Suzuki now supplying these tyres instead of Bridgestone tyres ? or did Tamiya stuff up?. Brian tyres - Anthony - 08-08-2002 I think they stuffed up I have an 02 and it has Bridgestones. Re: tyres - demeester - 09-08-2002 Or perhaps Tamiya have their own sponsorship arrangements... How many k's on the clock of your model? Perhaps it's the second set of tyres! |
