    Pictures??????

    It doesnt appear to be to much different from the Tamiya version only that it is a diecast metal body on the Kyosho correct?
    The luggage looks a tad different but otherwise it seems the same.....

    The Kyosho version capture the rear wheelarch of the Enzo much more accurately. The BBR's 1/18 version on the rear wheelarch is too "rounded". Look at pics of the actual Enzos or compare the actual Enzo against BBR, Tamiya and Kyosho and u will know what I mean. The Kyosho is VERY VERY HEAVY....and highly detailed with correct boot lifters that the Tamiya omitted. If Kyosho release other colours in future, I will definitely buy them all : ) They ( Kyosho ) are really value for money IMHO.

    I have no such problem on the production model. The pics of the actual model if taken by a professional photographer can fool others into thinking this is an actual full size Enzo !

    Beautiful model TMJ.... I must say that Kyosho did a fine job on that car.
    Its funny how Tamiya and Kyosho have always been in competition with each other (sort of like Ford vs Chevy). I remember back in the day, racing my
    Tamiya Avante (1/10th scale RC car racing) against the ever so popular Kyosho Optima Mid.... ***the Good Ole Days***

    Only when there's competition...then there'll be continuous improvement for better products for consumers like us : )

    i have a chance to see the kyosho 1/12 enzo at a local hobby shop..just by looking at the locking system used on this model. I regret of buying the tamiya model now...the locking system used on the tamiya is just 1 plastic pin and it broke...easily. Not to mention its overall built quality...it's juz too fragile almost everywhere and its built quality is really bad. Other than these, it's a nice model. But kyosho's is alot better.

    Tamiya enzo look superbly good on the outside...but when u examined closely, you would thought that it's just another plastic kit assembled by an amateur builder. Not to mention its fragility.

    it looks great, but European version, it will be better an US because Tamiya
    did it. a reason to buy one too.

    I think Kyosho is always better than Tamiya, especially on its Enzo, when it released, I will buy one definitely.
