Figured you old-school guys might like this... It's not really 'vintage,' but it -is- about 8 years old and discontinued. :)

NP22 (B). According to Nexa, it's a Citroen color. (B) specifies I ran with a 'bluer' recipe, and it actually turned out perfect imo. Added a bunch of flexible additive too, in case I do another one of these for running.

Ready to spray (thinned), matches pretty good. :)

Ran the stripes through the middle like this, just because... No pics exist of the original body from some angles, so one has to improvise. :S

i had one of those once, when i opened up teh box i got a noseful of an obnoxious oderous imination, the local hobbyshop said teh smell was from teh tires well i sniffed teh tires and sure enough they smelled horrible, needles to say teh car left me after only 2 weeks because the indoor track would NOT allow it because of teh smell teh tires put off. i never ran into anyone else whose spec vshicles had tires that smelled that bad but hey whatcha gonna do? :p

The blue tires did not smell all that bad. It was not pleasent but it was not like you were going to clear out a building with them.

They worked resonably well in a lot of different conditions as well.

dude trust me my old blue tires were rank and i was told i could not run my spec in the building. i did have other blue spec tires that smelled but no where near as bad as the ones that came with it. the guy who bought it from me changed it to a non spec version and ran it for a long time before he parted with it.

How funny. Must have been a bad batch or sat somewhere too long. They do smell bad I will admit that.

I've yet to smell anything.... o.O

Even the set straight outta the factory-sealed bag don't smell any different than my black Losi's and Pro-Lines...
