What you see here is the last of them. Less than 5 total of the Schkee and they are gone.
We always thought this body was cool, and it handled well. Stormer
got with Parma, they found and pulled Stormer Hobbies the 1/12th Schkee
from the original mold. It's a small piece of 1/12 scale history
that we wanted to help preserve. And now you can own it too! Race it
or put it on your vintage shelf queen. Was an excellent handling body.
Right up there with the TOJ and Osella.
The original full size Schkee campaigned in the late 70's, like 1977-1979. Look it up, was an awesome car.
It's getting hard to remember, but I "THINK" we probably last ran the
Schkee, to maybe 1986?. I have a vague memory of running a Schkee on a
first version 12L or a super phaser. So this body was probably
originally made from 1978-1984 the first time around. Would have been
raced on the Jomac Lightning 2000, Delta Super Phaser, Leisure 100,
Bolink Challenger, MRP GP12, 12E, and then the 12i. and other cars from
that period.
Now, another thing that was important to me. This is a slap in the face
for any collector that's been holding onto a Schkee body for almost
30-35 years. And we completely understand. These have the overspray
film on them (old ones, no film), and I had Parma engrave a "K" on the
lower back part of the body mold, that wouldn't be on the originals.
The K is to show respect and give props to Parma founder Ken MacDowell,
and show it's a current pull of the body. It's on the back, on the
piece you trim off. But it's there, and I think it's important to show
that respect for both Ken, Parma, and the collector crowd.
Remember this isn't a backpour, or repop somebody else made. These are
off the original 35 year old Parma Schkee mold, and also molded by Parma exclusively for Stormer Hobbies. And we're using the
original Parma part number #1949. Cool, top to bottom!!

Shown painted so you can see the detail. They are clear and require painting. It is shown mounted on a car the sake of detail, you don't get the car. This is just for the 1/12th Schkee body.
