Very true, not all RC cars Tamiya puts out are done in 1/24 (it's a hell of alot easier to make an RC body than a plastic kit). But- many of the 1/24 kits in the past couple of years were preceded by RC versions a year or so before- like the Enzo, the Carrera GT, and the FW24. It's entirely possible that they're considering the F430, and may have secured licencing.

Will they put one out? That probably won't be revealed until this time next year- giving them time to gauge interest in the car. It does look a hell of alot like an Enzo or 360, both of which Tamiya did. I would guess it's not a unique enough subject to make a kit of- but Tamiya also has a long history of making different kits of very similar cars (F2000 & F2001, WRC STI 2001/2 & 2004/5). Wait and see....

A 2005 206 WRC? Who drove a 206 in 2005? None of the main teams...this might be a typo...it might be the new car. :iceslolan

:biggrin:

Since I can't seem to get that site translated...I just thought of something. It may not be a 2005 206, but brand new, 2005 tooling for a 206wrc. Mabye finally producing a totaly correct pug? One can dream...

:biggrin:

Hey,

Hrmmm...Maybe, nay, hopefully they made a mistake and are making a 307 instead. More realisticly, prolly not:-/

Frank X.

Mayby the 206cc ?

I think its the Bozian run car which may have been driven by Daiel Carlsson or Panizzi

Maybe they could not license the car when main teams drove it, but they can now, and figure that the model will precipitate aftermarket decals and be popular nonetheless?

Wow. Another. Subaru. And 206. Model. Kit. From. Tamiya. Woo. Hoo. :sleeping:
