I don't think this newsgroup suports posting of pictures.
alt.binaries.pictures.radio.control.models, alt.binaries.radio-control
They suport posting of pictures.

You can also try here,
http://www.tamiyaclub.com/default.asp
I think they have a list of every tamiya with picutres.

If it's one of the older one, parts are very expensive, and hard to find.
I've seen bodies go for as high as $400US, just the body and sticker pakage.

Let us know what car it is here in a text format and maybe we can help.
Otherwise, post in the binaries group and let us know here that they have
been posted.

Post the photos at:
alt.binaries.pictures.radio.control.models
OR:
alt.binaries.radio-control

Technically, this is a text only group.
Photos and posts with other attachments should go to a binaries group.
Some guys will flame you if you post attachments here.
