That's both good news and not so good. Of all the latest F1 Ferraris I want the F2002 and the F2004 in 1/20 or at least 1/24 scale, and for some reason these are the ones that kit manufacturers choose not to make.

1:24 F1 car.. bah.......

Btw, there is also the McLaren 2005

Wtf Tamiya is waiting for ?

[drunken monkey]

maybe they really have spent all of their funding on the enzo, carrera and forthcoming slr (is that still a rumour?)

I don't know what is up with Tamiya, and why they are not producing these great cars..

So far that is the -

550
430
and now the F1 2005 that are models I want to build, and they now might not be built from my fav supplier..

But I looked at the Revell F1 kits, and they have a few, and they just don't seem as good.. The Williams F1 for example.. Tamiya and Revell, which one would you buy?

Tamiya has not been making F1 cars for a while.

Tamiya has not been making ANY NEW tooling for a while.

Hello

Well you don't need to tell us the Tamiya F1 cars are better than the Revell F1 cars and that 1:20 scale is better than 1:24. But since Tamiya seems to have stopped doing new 1:20 F1 subjects do we need to be happy with what we can get. The alternative is getting nothing! Or paying a fortune for a 1:20 resin lump.
I have recently built the Revell 1:24 2003GA and the result were better than I had hoped for. The nightmare about bad tires are solved many kits ago. And if SMS starts doing etch then things gets even better.

Alex, have you made the investment in the Revell 1/12 F2002 and all the aftermarket bits needed to correct it?

Looks like the MP4/20 won't be available till the end of the year. Also interesting that Revell are issuing several F1 kits a year, while the big T is silent. Certainly puts the excuse of licensing being the issue to bed.

I like the Revell kits (although I haven't built one yet), 1/24th makes more sense to me as a scale. I guess each fill their niche, Tamiya 1/20th opened up with max detail, the Revell kits curbside, a study in aerodynamics. At least that would be a nice theory if Tamiya were still tooling new stuff. No big deal, there are plenty of old kits to enjoy.

No, I haven't. It's too much of an investment for me at the moment.
