Re: MCLAREN SLR,what else is on the wish list

We had this thread this Feb.

Hey Scale-Master, one of your 53 wishes came true; 52 to go!

As for future Tamiya kits, today I'd say none!
Quite frankly, nothing seem to deserve Tamiya treatment. I mean there're many minor super cars out there, but I don't think they'd become hot sellers, not even the outrageously outrageous Veyron.

I'd rather hope Tamiya to save their tooling cost and wait for the arrival of next generation super cars. Until then, we'll probably be seeing some more diecast-chassised WRC and Super GT racers.

FYI, Tamiya only takes 6 months from planning to production, so it's not like they work their butt off for years to produce the Enzo level kit. What I want to believe is that we got diecast 307, 350Z and NSX Super GTs for the sake of fully-detailed "plastic model" of the SLR-McLaren.
