Re: Tamiya 1/12 Enzo Ferrari..... Whats in the box... First Look
I wonder if someone has their diecast 1/12 to compare? If this one does good i'll bet we'll see the carrera and f50.

The Tamiya "semi-assembled" version isn't a diecast, as it is mostly made of injection moulded plastic - as it should be because it's a Tamiya and the real Enzo is made of carbon fibre. On the other hand, Kyosho make a diecast Enzo in 1/12 scale. I have seen both at close hand and whilst they are marvellous things, there are some areas (but not many) that a good modeller would improve upon (eg, the steering wheel on both) with this incredible kit. It does seem to be sold out everywhere now though. |

Looks like the main differences then would be the select die-cast metal pieces replaced with injected plastic ones. |

Re: Tamiya 1/12 Enzo Ferrari..... Whats in the box... First Look
Well..... I've made a small start on Mine.
My order of CF decals and turned bolts and rivets arrived a couple of days ago so I've started drilling out the plastic bolt heads on the engine and transaxle so far. I'm hoping to be able to spend a bit of time on this one over the weekend, I'll post some progress shots when that happens. Here is a shot of my work bench as of tonight. Regards, Dan

Re: Tamiya 1/12 Enzo Ferrari..... Whats in the box... First Look
nah.... not even close T2M Carbon Fiber decals are only about $5.75 each and most of the bolt sets were even less... a pretty modest outlay to enhance the areas that can be seen on the finished model. Now I just need to finish this kit BEFORE anyone (SMS?) comes out with a super detail set to tempt me.... Im too easily tempted by shiny metal objects..lol Regards, Dan

Surprisingly inexpensive! Until somebody makes real carbon ceramic rotors or something...

Re: Tamiya 1/12 Enzo Ferrari..... Whats in the box... First Look
This kit looks great but I really dont understand the logic with the strange pink coloured seats
I can't wait to start it though, need to get a few others out the way first. |
