    Hi Roy and Grey
    Congratulations on your new collection.
    Grey, I totally agree with you on the scale and thickness of the plastic body.

    Hi Greg,

    Who delivered your package (DHL, Post Office, Purolator??)

    I'm anxiously waiting for mine in FL!

    I received mine from Morry, delivered late yesterday to my office and I picked it up today. Can't wait to start putting it together. Many thanks, Morry

    Mine came from Derrick (Toronto Motorsports) and it came via DHL. After the some what flimsy nature of the Enzo I was questioning the plastic. That has been erased with this model. It is superb. The headlights are super trick, as are all the panels that you fit out of the box... all magnetic, even the seats. The seats have a rectangle recess on the bottom and the floor of the car has a raised rectangle to match, they fit perfectly. I was concerned about fitting them and the rear firewall - it was cake.

    Mine was also purchased from Derrick at Toronto Motorsports... shipped via CandaPost to USPS.

    Heres my modest pictures... I literally ran outside just before the sun vanished. Not too much thought into them :-(

    Eventually I'll snap some pix with the other 4 F-supercars. These dont do the model justice.

    Great pic's guy's,

    Is this a limited run of models? The reason i ask is i would like to get one and i am wondering if i should get an order in asap to secure my order or if i can wait and get the Enzo first. (I'm new to 1:12)

    I just got my backdrop up tonight, so I didn't get around to taking any pics... I'll get 'em tomorrow - and a line-up shot of the 1:12 250 GTO, 288 GTO, F40, F50, and Enzo... I've got the 288 sitting on top of the display case the Enzo is in. Seems like the size is spot on. Overall, I'd guess a couple of inches shorter... pics to compare with tomorrow.

    Hey Roy.... did you find your battery tray cover? Its absent from its proper place in the tray per your pix above.

    Mine was also missing, but I found it loose toward the back of the box.

    I look forward to your proper pix.

    Thanks for the well-wishes Joe. Just got home... Been a LONG day, and I'm wiped out. I did take a shot of the brakes (rear) that some one asked for - hopefully tomorrow I can spend some quality time with the model...

    Probably go ahead and order the GTO right now. I know Derrick at Toronto Motorsports is expecting the next run to ship in late July/early August.
