    WOW. Very nice Christian. An impressive display. I love all of the models that you have. The black F50 that your friend built is really nice also.

    Thank you my friends.
    me too i like to have some ideas.

    In fact it s a simple cupboard that I had and I decide to rebuilt in display for cars. The price of the cupboard was too expensive and sometimes of bad taste. Mine cost only a few working hours on 1 month and 170 euros of cristal, lights, and electric cable.

    After a long delay and patience... the Tamiya 1/12 F50 has finally arrived. It is red and brandnew too.

    I was surprised that it is made of metal (pls forgive my ignorance). Its quality and finish is marginally beter then Kyosho's Enzo.

    If I have to rate their quality (of my collecion so far) I'd say
    1. Tamiya Enzo
    2. Kyosho F40 (it's not too far behind T's Enzo though)
    3. Tamiya F50
    4. Kyosho Enzo

    My ultimate wish is a 2889GTO then 512TR.... Mythos, FXX, maybe..... Dear manufacturers are you listening ?!!!

    I know there are nummerous non Fcar models out in the market, but I just want to stick to Fcar and leave them ot of my 'equation'.

    After some close 'inspections' at the 4 models mentioned above, I have to re-arrange their rating:
    1. Kyosho's F40
    2. Tamiya's Enzo
    3. Kyosho's Enzo
    4. Tamiya's F50

    I am 'deeply' disappointed by the quality and details of the T's F50, while K's F40 is amazingly detailed then the rest of the group given it's a metal model. Most of it's textures and material used insde are much better than the rest. Furthermore, I hardly see any screws in this F40, while I can't say that about the rest. That's what a good model surposed to be build like. Now I am after a Kyosho's F40 lightweight version.....

    I would have to agree with bits and pieces of everyone's comments.I would rate the K's F40 as best but it is a really close call with the T's ENZO.
    It absolutely beats me why Kyosho did not make the F40 with a 4-point harness,even the lightweight version has single belts.Then there is no trace of plumbing for the turbos and no any lines or hoses for the vacuum.I have built a tamiya 1:24 F40 with more detail in the engine bay.However I believe what makes it stand out is that all of us are bias toward the car itself.As far as the T's Enzo it is way more detailed and the reason for the choice of materials used and way of assembly it is done to immitate the process used in the real car.Technicaly speaking it is prototipicaly correct the suspention and engine to be metal and the body composite, which is exactly what tamiya did.Also I assumed none of you (or very few) have ventured into unscrewing all the little screws on the bottom of the Enzo, but if you do you will find that all the flat panels are removable and underneath there is lots of detail.All the plumbing going from the engine to the radiators up front is there together with brake lines and and full under engine detail.The problem is that the real cars were built almost 20 years appart and in the case of the Enzo most wires and plumbing is just hidden from view, whether with the F40 it is all out in your face.So for the verdict the T's Enzo is way more detailed and correct than K's F40 but I believe the F40 wins simply because it gives us what we want to see.And IHO the T's F50 is simply not on the same level.It is just their 1:24 scale plastic kit in 1:12 diecast.I can bet'cha that when(or maybe IF) exoto comes with their 1:18 model it will be better detailed than the T's 1:12.

    Made by Motormax. I hate to complain about a manufacturers quality, but this model leaves a lot to be desired.

    Issues I have with it are;

    Paint has orange peel
    Paint has dust in it
    Big paint splotch in passenger door sill
    Interior is very plastic looking with low level of detail
    Wheels are not mounted well and tend to have a lot of camber due to the weight of the car, because of this it does not roll well
    Engine compartment is terrible
    There isnt any Twin Turbo marking on the rear of the car

    I will say this however. The box that the model came in is beautiful. I would venture a guess they invested a small fortune in it. I may have to display it instead, as the box is nice...............................

    yes but it exist!!

    look awsome, in diecast i suppose, great color you can try to do something
    for this car, put more details yourself if a detail disdust you try to change it
    by ather material, put others colors inside for more realism....at the end you don t look with the same eye.

    thanks for shoots if you have others please do not hesitate.

    Regards
    Christian
