It is another Enzo, it will have the extra parts from the yellow version, but will be molded in red.

I can't fault them, I expect a rather notable chunk of the buyers do not paint their kits, so this one is really meant for those builders.

As for other brands - well, feel free to pay the license fees that Audi, Mercedes and BMW and others charge and Tamiya, I'm sure, will be more than happy to make those models.

Tamiya is pissing me off...

This is a cheap ploy to sell one modeler more than one kit. I would have waited for the yellow version w/the c/f decals had I known they would be doing this. I refuse to buy another Tamiya product until it's re-released. They screwed around w/the original Modena, the Z car, and now the Enzo. Live and learn...Tamiya is not getting any more of my money on a new release. I can wait for the "improved" version. That is if they bother to do any more sports cars ever again...they're not showing any signs of new kits that appeal to me at all...

i am planning to get the yellow version just that because i am impressed by the kit after building the red one

Did it with the Williams F1 kit too, ZoomZoom. Seems they taken on a new market strategy learned from Fujimi.

So very true ZoomZoom

you guys are being quite sour about the new Tamiya model now

LOL, I completely agree with all of you though

I don't see the problem.
Another version of the 'improved' original.
The more money they make on old tooling, the more money they have to develop new kits. The down side for you non Ferrari fans is the likelyhood that there will be a new Ferrari in the near future, simply because of the success of recent Tamiya Ferrari releases.

Now if Fujimi would re-release some of their Ferrari's!

Although I would expect that those same buyers don't want any PE parts either (or whatever the extra parts are, can't remember now). Actually, I think those buyers would buy Revell Enzo anyway, because Tamiya Enzo would be too demanding.

Looks like Tamiya is trying to become another Fujimi. At least the quality is still excellent.
