Do you think BBR's 1/18 Enzo is worth the $$$ ???

My only complain is :

1) The doors do not open adequately ( wide enough ) like the Tamiya's 1/12 Enzo.

2) The tyres should have markings on the sidewalls.

3) Chassis was quoted to be made of metal / alloy, but model came with plastic chassis instead !

If you compare the CMC 1/18 Mercedes Mclaren SLR against the chassis of the BBR 1/18 Enzo, you will know what I mean.

 

I think BBR managed to capture the lines of the side profile of the Enzo spot on for their first foray into 1/18 diecast !

If you compare it with a Hotwheels Enzo, you will know what I mean...

 

Forgot to mention that some comments earlier elsewhere that the rear tyres having a "tall profile" is not 100% true, as the measurements are correct in terms of ratio of 1/18 to full size for the Enzo's tyres.

 

They still look awfuly thick and big, at least on the pictures.

 

On those pre-launch pics...they looked funny...but look at the actual model and you do see a difference.

 

I don´t think it is worth the price. IMO, BBR does an awesome job in 1/43 concerning classic Ferrari models, but in some way or another they don´t quite get the modern Ferraris look correct.

I´m very eager to see what Kyosho will do when they will release the Enzo in 1/12. Although I have not seen a release date anywhere...

Does anyone know when the Kyosho release will be?

 

I think earliest release date for 1/12 Enzo by Kyosho is either Dec 2005 or early 2006 !

 

Owners of the BBR 1/18 Enzo be extremely careful when you place the car cover over your model, as it can accidentally remove one or both of the side prancing horse badges as they come off easily due to being stickers !

 

This is my main concern......I think the door's opening is ridiculously small.
