It doesnt say its a lexus SC430 but i suspect it is... as i cant think of any other car with SC430 as a model name .

Race car. Google it!

i'm stunned and pleasantly surprised by this new kit. but dare i say it, die-cast metal chassis?

Yes, i would bet on it!:rolleyes: Another overpriced non-detail Tamiya kit!:banghead:
I´m so glad to have still enough older Tamiyas to build, so i don´t have to buy this sh**.:grinyes:

Damn, angry are we about this? LOL

Bring it on, I will pay!

Metal chassis on race car doesn't really border me. But the price vs details offered will.

Spot on. The good old full detail kits were much better value for money..

Neat! Probably won't make it in my stash, but neat nonetheless.

So, where's my RA106?

Neat. :)

+3 decal variations coming down the pipe... (edit: my own speculation)

Tamiya isn't going to issue decals that say Bandai ... never. :nono:

It's in their official curse words dictionary, together with Hasegawa, Fujimi and Aoshima

I agree. The only chance of us seeing the Bandai one is a third-party decal set.
I don't think the SC430 is a good seller, but I guess it's better than no kit at all.

Oh yeah! LOL! Maybe they'll blank it out like tobacco decals. :lol:

I'm surprised never got around to do a Supra update for Super GT. :(

I'm sure it doesn't hurt that there's only 3 cars in the whole top class.

BTW, the Open Interface SC430 clinched the Super GT championship this past weekend, which is why we're seeing it. Tamiya loves winners. So, everyone who still wants such-n-such race car kit... Better hope they win! ;)

You are such a jerk!

they should make a road version with a functional hard top convertible! ok that might be a bit far but it'd be nice

If you look closely at the rear wing of the Interface car you'll see Tamiya sponsors the team....
Lets hope for full detail....

This one has been done as a 1/10th RC car by Tamiya. So that might mean they make it, right?

General concensus around here is that Tamiya's R/C line and static scale model line are fairly well independent, and it's futile to judge one by the other.

:disappoin :disappoin

i'd make it in bandai livery...

and add some V-fins and give it the red-white-blue color scheme. LOL!
