I don't have a copy of R/C Modeler here, but Kyosho is a very well-known
brand of R/C stuff. I believe Hobby Lobby in Tennessee handles Kyosho, but
so does about everybody that does R/C cars.
I'll bet you can call just about any hobby shop that does R/C and find out
if Kyosho still makes such a thing. Another place, probably the biggest
R/C warehouse in the US, is Tower Hobbies in Champaign, Ill.
Good luck!

I just got back from a friend's place where he showed me several Mini Cooper
Radio Control car kits which he bought from Hub hobby Shop in Minneapolis
(612-490-1675). The man he spoke with, Bob, said he had ordered because a
friend has a Mini and he had to order at least 10. He had sold 6 and my
friend got the last 4 he had.
The body shell is clear vacuformed plastic and has chrome grill pieces, etc.
The tires are lettered Bridgestone. It is around 1/12th scale.
They are made by a company called KYOSHO, the part number is MN19
Phone number on the package is 0462(29)4115, but this is Japan, I think!
The guy at Hub Hobby said that he can't get anymore, does anyone know where
more might be or who the importer/distributor might be?
