1/12 models (Tamiya/Kyosho/Autoart)

Kyosho is lower. At least im pretty sure it is...

 

I finally placed my 1/12 Murcielago (Autoart) 40th and the 1/12 Diablo into my display shelve... they looks very nice. I am going to add next 1/12 Ferrari model into it.....

Maybe it is just me...
Or is it optical illusion that makes the Murci look bigger than Diablo ? Then again the Mclaren looks also much bigger than the other 2 also...

 

the angle I take the photo...

 

Hello Micheal,

too many cars in the display, you need help, wich is the diablo in bronze?
i thaught it was black. did you changed?

 

It is a special color

 

Michael, what is the scale of the yellow McLaren F1?

 

1/18, UT

 

I'm about to take the plunge to get one of these. Having read through this whole thread, it seems like there was initially a bias towards Kyosho an then back to Tamiya. For those who have both or gone through the same decision process, if you had to make the same decision again? Which would you get?

My understanding is that the Kyosho is less detailed but more durable - is that basically it?

 

Thats a custom paint right?

 

I have the Kyosho F40 Lightweight and the Maisto XJ220. I used to have the McLaren F1 and the Tamiya F50 (which I'm trying to re-aquire).

 

My friend bought this from UT headoffice 10 years ago before their closing...he said it was sample models...

 

Please read the comments and pics posted on previous pages. They should give you some idea of their quality. Anyhow, given the choice to pick an Enzo, I'd take Tamiya's one, even though it is plastic and fragile. It is very detailed though. However, Kyosho's F40 is the best. It's a pity they didn't make the Enzo as well as the F40.

Skip the F50, it is a 'trash'. Buy it only if you really can't live without it. Otherwise it is a total waste of money. No offense to those who owns it.

 

Are you serious? I love that car! I think Tamiya did a great job on it and I was able to find one new for $199. I prefer to trash my Kyosho F40 Lightweight instead. The parts easily break and the black wheels are really starting to get on my nerves.

 

Hi Matt,
which one did you take a F50? is great easy to built too.
No new for the new 1/12 release?

i m thinking to take one in june probably kyosho enzo or porsche GT
i don t know exatly.
in realty, i prefer the F50 GT in red the pic from Micheal .

tick tok, 2 minutes less....

see you later.

 

Has anyone seen the AutoArt 1/12 Gallardo in yellow by any chance? I have seen the silver one but would love to have it in yellow.

 

I agree! What is taking these people so long???

 

I will soon complete my 1/12 collection and realize one thing. They are all made by different manufacturer.
