Default Anyone recognise this Yokomo vintage body paint.

I've had this Yokomo Drescher edition for some time posted in my Tamiyaclub showroom, and every so often someone would send me a message that it looks like Jimbo Pearson/Rory Cull/Marc Neales old buggy. Just curious to see if anyone does recognise the body at all as it certainly wasn't painted by the racer I bought it off.

Looks Jimbo Pearsons I think, Rory Cull used to have a more candy red base colour and Mark used to have green as the base colour. All the Associated team had similar style shells back then. The detail in the window is something Dallas used to do in some of the shells he painted but I'm not sure this is one of his.

Thanks James, good to know the Yoke does have some history then. Guess I won't be trashing the shell when I rebuild it then.

Definitely not Rory on Mark. Jimbo was mostly green as well but in more or less that design. The paint looks like Pete Darwell to me as we'll. he used to do that style on the windows.
