Will you buy a Tamiya Lexus LFA?
I think I will. I love Tamiya kits and it will look good next to my GT-R.What do you think? Mark

Re: Will you buy a Tamiya Lexus LFA?
To each its own. I personally like it. But I think I can design a better looking front for it. The front is just too much IS350 for me. The back is just perfection.

Re: Will you buy a Tamiya Lexus LFA?
The back and sides don't bother me much, but the front does! I like Lexus' LS, IS and GS designs, but like you said, Lexus could have done a much better job with the LFA's front, IMO.

Re: Will you buy a Tamiya Lexus LFA?
Yes. I don't have a particular liking to the car. I just can't resist new kits. Fujimi or Aoshima would probably make a better version anyway lol. An interesting way whoever will mold the body will be tho. It has crazy angles by the rear quarter window/ventlet.

If they make it, probably. It's a gorgeous car.

Re: Will you buy a Tamiya Lexus LFA?
I guess I could be convinced to buy/build one, not my favorite design but it's interesting. Doesn't matter if it's Tamiya/Fujimi/Aoshima/Hasegawa.

Re: Will you buy a Tamiya Lexus LFA?
I agree though, if any of the companies come out with it, I'll get one.

Re: Will you buy a Tamiya Lexus LFA?
They tried too hard to make it look like a supercar by sticking a bunch of scoops and vents on an otherwise fairly plain design.
I'd probably get a kit of it to play with though.

Considering the myriad of ways the car can be spec'd out for 1:1 customers, it could be a fun kit to play with. When the car was finally unveiled I figured one of the Japanese companies would have to do a kit of it.

Re: Will you buy a Tamiya Lexus LFA?
I'd probably buy one but I'm not a fan of the front. Would be a definite +++ if they'd include the V10
 Personally though, I'd rather have them make the Ferrari 458 Italia first! Nothing sells like a prancing horse.

Re: Will you buy a Tamiya Lexus LFA?
The one aspect of this car I love is that scoop over the rear side window. Something really different that makes me wonder if it just overlays the window glass or the glass contours around it. No photos I've seen really show this.
Maybe the kit is worth it to cut this scoop out and mold it to a GT-R ..
