I'm the odd one out here. Was initially excited about this kit when it was first announced but I've now gone a bit cold on it, gonna save my money for the Ebbro Lotus 49. Looking forward to seeing the first Red Bull built up though. Who will be first to post a finished kit???

Won't be me. Still waiting on my box from HLJ after two weeks in shipment. Got the first 2-3 boxes from them within 8 days and now I wait. Cursed Christmas.

Yes, fluorescent they should be as should be the jack hook.

It's not actually the nut that is fluorescent, it's the pointed guide that is that colour.

Finally have the kit in hand!!! See there is a real debate on what color of Blue to use.
Found this video that you may all enjoy seeing from the 2010 car launch.

Is the TS-89 blue available in the UK yet? Asked at Wonderland over Christmas and they'd never heard of it...

Hi All,

I found something quite strange in the bottom of my RB6 box. There is a yellow slip of paper regarding the decals, and this paper explains that if I want to buy another RB6 decal sheet, I need to send this yellow slip of paper AND the non-used portion of the decal sheet back to Tamiya's outlet in order to be able to buy another decal sheet.

Has anyone else come across this? I've never seen or heard of Tamiya doing this before.

Cheers, Paul
Sydney, Oz.

Most likely that is part of the licensing agreement with Blue Cow.
