Bottom three make me think maserati mc12. Not sure what livery the top two are.

I think the first 2 pics are CAD images from the McLaren F1 GTR.
These are from the japanese Facebook page

Looks cool. Kind of weird they have separate Japanese page. I guess English is not common second language in Japan. What's the address of that FB page ?

I'll post it here because it's the most current one on the topic


Received an email update today from Profil24 regarding their long long long awaited McLaren F1 kit is finally available for order.


is that a new photo?
I know it won't compare to a similar kit done with modern methods but it doesn't look too bad for a hand made resin kit.

Judging by the positive comments from Aoshima on their English Facebook page, they are open for possible kit of short tail version as well.
Looks like it will depend on success of long tail kit and comments from fans. I encourage anyone who wants short tail version kit to go and
put your plea onto their FB page - Aoshima's English FB

A new introduction.

I have little processed the image.


I see here this Lambo: http://www.autowp.ru/pictures/l/lamb...versario_9.jpg

That's definitely an Aventador, would be nice if it was topless

Now we can see a CAD model of the McLaren's exterior and engine.

Its great to see Aoshima are putting in extra effort to get this kit right! & I really like that there very active on Facebook too!

I see a lambo too. Good for aoshima!! I think they are going to be the first company to do well especially with facebook as they get to hear from their customers!!

I think Aventador 50th Anniversario is a given because it doesn't require full tooling. Aoshima blog says two out of three super car proposals are approved for 2014, and I hope one of them is the Veneno.

Now, can anyone tell which airport this is? The text in the back seems Italian. That's where Aoshima's supercar guy went for a business trip recently.

Aoshima has released photos of the mold development model on their Facebook page. The level of detail is just amazing. Here are some of the photos they uploaded:












Full engine detail!
