Arguably the 2 biggest companies on the market. This may be the reason why

for sure not in quality. David vs goliath....
Despite the subject, the last tamiya models raise the real perfection in scale.

New entry in Tamiya blog surfaced today - https://tamiyablog.com/2019/01/some-...toy-fair-2019/
I guess it makes it as official as it can be. And we will have more details by the beginning of Feb.
Oh, so excited. Really hope it sells well and others will follow with other LMP1/LMP2 kits.

Would love to see a Dakar car. It's been a lonng time since the Tamiya Pajero.
This LeMans car is a welcome return to race cars.

I'm already studying the differences to bckdate it as nakajima car from 2016.
Thats the strongest image of recent le mans races imho.
THE DRAMA. Think in such moment the entire world was supporting Toyota.

Looks great and having an engine will help the purists!

I can't wait! It has been so long since we've had a new kit of a Le Mans prototype. Seemed only natural that Tamiya would do it but I've thought that about a lot of subjects. Looks like they've done a super job, glad they went with full detail version.

Unfortunately it won't have an engine. Just the gearbox. There are no turbo parts, exhausts, radiators, or any other engine or engine bay parts on any of the sprues. It will go together very similarly to the SF70H. Regardless I'm still going to pre-order it. Can't wait!

Guess I didn't look at the sprue shots closely enough. I'm still excited though!
