My new Kyosho Blizzard SR

[civic83]

I built up a more accurate looking body out of styrene for mine when I had it, made the machine look way better IMO , great job on the LEDs , really adds character to the machine!

Lucky you are!

Thanks, Jeff. They are great models. This is probably Kyosho's best engineered version, out of all the others they've done.

Me too, rcman. I remember being a teenager looking at these in the Tower Hobbies catalog. The very first Kyosho Blizzard DX. Couldn't get one though. I didn't have enough money and my mom and dad couldn't be presuaded to get me one for a Christmas or birthday present either.

Definitely fun, even if you have no snow. I ran my old Blizzard in the middle of summer. Grass, sand, gravel, anything. They don't care what you run them on.

Thanks! Lights add so much to the model. Any model really.

Do you have any pictures? I've seen some Pistenbully cabs offered by a German company, and they look fantastic, but they look difficult to scratchbuild. I'm not really a styrene master.
