Got back into the hobby nearly a year ago now, shocked to see hardly any new cars on offer, and what has been released is pricey and lower detailed. Tamiya have released some nice F1 cars a few years ago, Ferrari 2000 /2001 and the FW24, Ferrari Enzo, also done some rally cars etc.. But this year has seen another Skyline..!! Yawn.!! Skylines are cool, but this is now the most over modelled car ever.. We can only take so many of them.
Revell have released some newer F1 kits, sadly cheap as they might be, lack quality. Fjumi released the 550 and 575, and these are crap. Decent builder could make modifications to get them looking decent, but I've been stuck building Tamiya's back catalog.
Revell has just released the C6, and this is actually a decent US muscle kit, and I'm building the C5-R at the moment, and TBH, Revell have shocked with these.. Decent kits. Maybe Revell is booking their ideas up..
Tamiya are releasing a 306 WRC, but with metal chassis.. Had a bit of a kicking, from me included. They did release the a 2005 WRC subaru with a nice P/E detail set.
TBH, don't look for recent kits from this year, the selection is bad, look for some of the older kits.. Tamiya 360 Modena is a nice kit to get back into the hobby with. Good detail, easy build, not frustrating..
