Schumacher R12 build #1

[Defiant]

Finally picked up a car that I’ve been trying to get for a long time but always seemed to slip away: the Schumacher R12

I bought this car back in November and it only arrived to me this week. It’s in very rough shape and will need a complete rebuild but I’m always up for the challenge.

A little info about the car: In 2002 it was prototyped (and raced) at Reedy Race Of Champions in Spain, and later in 2003 the production model was officially released to the public. This car came after the Fusion and shares many parts with it, except it’s a little lighter and uses a smaller .12 engine. This car is built for cornering where the Fusion was more of a straight line car.

The engine in this one is a NovaMega SX12

Getting some parts ready for this build. It’s gonna be one of a kind

I picked up an old RCCA mag with a R12 feature

I own many old magazines of this kind...it's been years since I've gone through them!

You can still build one from parts

Funny how the old mags are way thicker than the new ones

My collection requires the original box and paperwork in mint condition
