Would you pay 4500 yen for an F20C?
Wow! I just found it here. It looks super-detailed.
Now, paying 4500 yen (approx. $45) for it may be a bit out of line. Or is it? Would you pay that much? The pieces are made of white metal. Does anyone have experience working with white metal? I don't. (Just in case anyone doesn't recognize the engine code, that's the 2 liter Honda S2000 powerplant.) |

Wow. Now that's expensive... As for me, I'd rather buy a couple of 1/43-s from Minichamps
If you have money,then why not

$45 is a lot, but then I could easily spend that on photo etched extras for my cars!
I am trying to get away from that sort of detail now though as invariably a project takes too long, you get bored, start something else and the old projects never get finished!!! I would just build the S2000 nice and move on! Nice if you want that sort of thing though! |

Calculation:
£33.45 x 1.44 = $48.16 That's what I'd end up paying after shipping. I just can't justify it. |

Ok, here are the instructions!
I just noticed I said I would pass on this!!! Never mind!!! Only money!!! Bit dissappointed there seem to be no engine bay ancillaries! Looks like a bit of scratch building needed! I will do a search, see what else I can find!!! If anyone can translate the Japanese, I would be greatful!!! |
