The auction description says it is from Tamiya from when they released the Enzo kit, so I don't think there is anything home made about it.

Perhaps this is a sign Tamiya will release a full-view Enzo?

Probably coz its not on general sale and uses the existing box with ...60 item#.

Its obvious this is not something home made, if it was Mr Tamiya should be very worried!

Lets hope this is only a limited edition for the moment. I'd love to get my hands on one of these at a semi-normal price.

Re: Tamiya Full View Enzo

It is an official Tamiya release. Only 100 kits were made for the Enzo kit presentation in Japan. They were given for free to those who attended presentation. I don't think Tamiya will release it as a Full View kit though.

That would make then fetch a good price on ebay, if they were ever sold..

TBH, even though they can look great when built correctly, I wouldn't actually buy one. I build models to have a scale car, of the real item.. Don't see many clear view cars on the road..

Mind you, wasn't there a clear view Honda S2000... Perhaps this will be tamiya's next big release..!!

Re: Tamiya Full View Enzo

Stupid guy, selling it in, letīs say, 20-30 years could make him work parttime if he wants to
I mean, how rare is a kit that day, if it was made in 100 copies 30 years earlier?

Well, won't dis-agree with that... Looks to be full view model to me. Ģ18.71 in UK pounds.. That's cheaper then what most UK model shops sell the standard kit for.. I saw one for Ģ29.99... What a rip..!!
