gis, I remember you want a Ferrari F50 too, right? Tamiya has just introduced an excellent one. Fear not, it's not a kit as you know it. It's all painted (metal body) and for the most part assembled, you only have to bolt the wheels on and attach the roll bars (or roof), bonnet and engine cover. They did this because Tamiya is not allowed to offer ready-builts because of legal matters. They worked around this with this semi-assembled 'kit', which can be completed by a noob even.

I have seen pictures of it and the level of detail is up to usual Tamiya standards. It's in yellow (which suits the car brilliantly) and is in scale 1:12 (I know that's not a problem for you ). One thing I don't know, the price... You should really look into this!

EDIT: The pictures I saw were of a yellow one, but I found out that it's also available in red. After a long search I finally found a webpage on the model... Here it is.

LOL, I thought you'd like that one...

€230 is pretty steep... I was afraid of something like that.

I'm not around much on MSN, you're right. When I have to choose between spending my time here or on MSN, I still prefer JW. Nice to hear you missed me though.

the NSX is really nice.nice interior just like the supra,i was so shocked to see it at the shop.

the CGT is nice to look at,but when u start lookin at the parts of it closely liek the interior it isnt spectacular.i was really hoping they would be one there from auto art or sumthin.

also when i got there they still had that 1/12 scale ferrari F40 for £300.oh man i love it.im soooo surprised i aint bought that yet.im hoping that it will remain there and they will drop the price gradually and ill pick it up at a cheaper price.lol also that /2 F40 which is fro kyosho they also have a 1/12 scale vanquish and Z4 in the same colour as st-angers real life Z4.i was also told that the shop should be receiving a 1/12 scale lambo murcialago.............drooooooooool
