Jürgen's Kyosho Collection (DE)


Here's an remarquable Kyosho vintage collection!
Jürgen Hach (and his wife Antonia) are perhaps amongst the most famous kyosho vintage resellers of Ebay,
( better known as codename '166460')! I just realized he had a very complete collection of my favourite cars (Optima, Javelin, Turbo Scorpion, Turbo Optima, Rocky, Turbo Rocky, Ultima, Gallop), and as I was seeing his pics, I figured out how maniac he was: every line, every decal, every colour scheme is faithful to the box art!!!
I often see 'box art' (or supposed so) cars bodies, but usually a stripe line or two are missing, or a decal is misplaced, a blue slightly different from the one on the box, etc. etc. BUT Jürgen seems to be a perfectionist!!! His cars could have been the ones kyosho shot to be on the original boxes!
Look at the black line on the bottom of the body! On the box it's hardly noticeable and lot of people tend to miss it, but hey! it hasn't escaped to our eagle-eyed guy!
Amazing.
WE WANT TO SEE MORE!!! :-D

I guess you didnt notice the fact that the number is a totally different font then?!

Actually, yes.
But Jurgen has been keen enough not to use the number "5" provided in the kit. That's already a good point.
btw, Hagar from VintageRC has managed to produce the "5" in the correct font, if you care... :-)
