Yep mine is the tamiya kit, i must have got in the early to mid 90's i think.  Ended up black with lots of magazine stickers all over it. It took some really punishment when i was a kid.

decided against lunchbox but still staying retro i've gone for this look:


 


A few more police decals and a lightbar for the roof and i can start hunting the neighbours cat
