oh yeah..?? WHERE IS THAT 288 GTO??????????????

[DSM-Mark]

How about the S2000 (reg and vspec), and the R34 (vspec and vspecII). Or the rally focuses. Or the 206's. This isn't really anything that new from tamiya.

[ales]

So the Williams (both versions), Lancer WRC and the two Skylines aren't new enough? I'm very thankful to Tamiya that they released several 206s with most of the changes to the car reflected in the kits, I already have two and planning on getting at least one more. Besides, I'd rather see Tamiya produce things that are done with quality in mind rather than quantity-oriented half-arsed latest Fujimi efforts.

Well, it's easy to produce quality things, when you keep releasing probably the best 1/24 car kit yet over and over again.
At least WRC kits are kits of different cars, not just different color cars. I really hope this means that they are working on something that is actually new.

What's the problem? A new Enzo? Don't buy it if you don't want it! Others may be happy to take it.
Another Enzo: good news!

It's a question of choice: Tamiya as choosen to make few new kits but high quality ones. When the Modena or Enzo came, most people seemed to be happy they made this choice...

Maybe we'll have to wait 6 months or more to have a 1/24 Porsche Carrera GT, surely with the same high level of details... It may be not a bad choice, because the car is really great, even if it's not the most beautifull one!...

What do I mean? Have a look at my signature, you'll see there's lot of cars I wish Tamiya made... Like you all, I feel frustrated (so many new beautifull cars, so few models...), but I say: If more Enzo means more new realeases in the future, I wish they made a black one, a clear one, a white one, a metal grey one, with or without PE parts or CF decals... If there's people to buy them, ok!

Maybe I'm too old, now, but to my eyes the only thing to do is:
Wait and see...

[Vric]

it will be like last year

Enzo is out then.......... nothing new since the R34 in December...

So I don't expect any real new kit from Tamiya this year as last year

Expect one or 2 other R34 with different decal or transkit. and expect a Clear View Enzo, a Pro finish Xanavi R34 and a new WRC Subaru (that may be the only real release this year)

so true

New rule: Don't by the first version of any new Tamiya kits. Wait till the bring out the "special edition".
Sadly with the very slow release rate of new kits, this rule won't be practiced very frequently.

Feel bad about starting this thread now. I didnt set out to be negative about Tamiya, i was just so surprised to find a third Enzo from them. Im sure the quality of it will be top notch as usual, but i sure wont be buying one as ive already done an Enzo & a modena spider. So, some of you reckon its gonna be a good while before we see something other than Enzo's & Skyline's again !!! Well......i can wait beacause ive invested in some Aoshima VIP American kits & i must say (as a Tamiya fanatic) that the quality is superb, and all with nice rims, not too much sanding either. The only downside with these kits are the fact that the chassis (can't spell) are mainly one piece like Tamiyas 350z but overall very impressive kits. So it's bye bye Tamiya until we see something other than Enzo's And especially Skylines.

Later, Mike.

so long as they bring out the subaru wrc 2003 i'll be happy...that and a carrera gt...mmm

[flyonthewall]

Good to see them adding extra's into their kits i say. Its about time they had more etched parts in their car kits.

Also, don't get too upset by Tamiya's lack of new releases. This is how its been for years with them and their car kits, around 2-4 new toolings each year.

Whats new in this kit??
