More 1/12th kits!!

I apologise if this has already been covered, but when I went down to the local model shop, I saw two new kits...in 1/12th! They were the Ferrari Testarossa and F40 by Revell AG. The Testarossa was £35 GBP and the F40 was much more, going at £50 GBP.

Re: More 1/12th kits!!

Anyone have any word on the 1/12 Camaro? From my understanding, they were supposed to rerelease that one.

There's a 1:12 57 Chevy at our Hobby Lobby right now! It's big!! They also have two of the yellow Enzos...but there's no way I'm paying $50 for ANY 1:24 kit!

If anybody's looking to get their hands on one of the 1/12 Calsonic R32 Skylines, PM me, but I'll warn you right now they're not cheap!

I feel your pain Mike. In my case, it's:
Why arent there any 1/12 Volkswagen?

I would like to try a larger scale if I had the occasion.
