Beautiful! The next Ferrari Enzo!

nice one of my friends saw one last winter in a smal town, arjeplog deep in the swedish mountains....it was a test car and not even sneak pictures of it had come out at that time:P

That looks that it's going to be a very good model...
Could anyone tell me if it is curbside? I'm really curious about that....
Thanks

I can't read japanese , but my question is answered anyway! Thank you!

Damn....now I need to start saving that extra $$.....eheheheh

That's too funny- they didn't even bother to paint it!



Strange that they'd be so anxious to it show off that they wouldn't delay a couple of days so allow someone to build it for real before releasing pics.

The pics look like a test shot - unpainted and some details missing. The model looks promising, though. I'd like to see a detail pic of the rear deck and engine cover. I hope they make the intake manifold covers on the rear deck P/E mesh.

look terrible.. well as said, it's unpaited and low details... Look like Tamiya have a newbee in there compagnie. They took the exact same seat as Porsche GT3.

Dont know, They really should wait before posting picture cos now it look like a Testor quality kit.. very desapointed

[labandabonnot]

I don't agree with you, Vric! That's really teasing!
The seats are surely not GT3 ones, as the GT3 ones are much wider... The detail is still poor, but for example, the pic showing the rear suspension is very promising...


It gives, in some way, the same impression than when you've just cut out parts from the tree and test fitted them to have an overall preview... (I always do that! )

Unfortunately, I'm afraid the engine covers won't be PE... It would have been great, but hard to put in shape... It will surely be something like F50 and Enzo rear grid: a clear plastic part.

I wish Fujimi did the same with their forthcoming Murcielago: it really keeps desire alive! (well, I know I don't even need that... )
