The list seems to be exactly the same but I haven't seen the Skyline. I bought the Weds Celica, Daishin Slivia, Takata NSX and the Amemiya FD 2 weeks ago. I didn't buy the MR-S or Supra as they didn't look appealing.

nope, RC2, who ownes AMT ownes Muscle Mechines...or at least thats what i've heard

WOW AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Three 1/24, and Two 1/12 MotoGP in 2004, Tamiya gets their $ again.....but I am still waiting for 1/20 Ferrari F2004 and 1/24 F430. Hope they are coming.

StephenDeli · 09-08-2004, 04:23 PM

^ Me too. I hate to be the party pooper but all these cars are just not my cup of tea. I would like to see some more Formula One Cars. Of course Ferrari F2002-2004 would be nice but I am so desperate I would take any F1 car. Also some more roadgoing cars. F430, M3/5, RX-8(I know fujimi has one). So I guess Im waiting till next december.

Stop! That's too much good news for one day! I can't hold that!
I'm going to breeze a little, and I'll come back to see it with my own eyes on the sites...
Saving money time has just started now!

Damn I was saving for a Profil24 McLaren F1, but now too much nice model hit December.. I Hope Santa will be generous this year !

Hey,
Including the rest of this month and all of December, can they really do the whole production of these kits in 4 months? Or, maybe they were just not telling us, they already have been working on them. Can't wait!!!!! Sooo many nice models.

I hadn't noticed that. I certainly hope it's a typo on HLJ's part.

labandabonnot · 09-08-2004, 06:05 PM

I don't think so... Maybe just something new, a kind of semi die-cast and semi snap-on kit...
Wait and see... It doesn't look overpriced, I mean: at a price similar to plastic kit ones...

It doesn't matter! No word can make me stop smiling after I read this magical one: GALLARDO!

(and the size of the wheels doesn't matter too: what's important is the way you're using them!

Thanks Fujimi for not leting us down!)

The Fujimi Murcielago wheels are correctly sized...I got the kit today and have set it together. We're used to seeing oversized rims on models, and many times they look better w/slightly oversized wheels. The main issue when building is to get the wheels properly centered, with the correct offset, and getting the ride height correct or slightly lowered. Comparing pics of the 1:1 car and the model proves to me at least that the wheels are correct. I'm using the stock wheels on mine, and will tweak the suspension to make sure it sits with the right look and attitude. The Gallardo rims...damn, they look fine...they'll look great on a Murcielago...

What a great end to the year

I think that's a mistake on HLJ's part. The kit number certainly suggests its part of the 1/24 plastic kit line up - 24277. The die-cast models are 23...

Thank God! The Xanavi Z is my favorite race car and it would be awesome to build it.
