F50 1:12 Tamiya

Just got my F50 yellow Tamiya 1:12 today. It is very lovely and very details.
Any other better F50 with the same scale or bigger?

 

Dont think so! To start with when Tamiya made thier first 1:12 F50, they didnt get the permittion from Ferrari, so thay had to take it back from the markets. So if you have one of the first models (wich you probbarly do not), you are very lucky! Now ofcourse they have the permittion, and are able to buy .

Cant you post some pictures of it? Would like to see it

Well you can always buy the real thing

 

I have the red one and love it. Plus I think they discontinued it. Yellow is a good choice. Now if I could only find the Enzo for the same price as they seem awfully pricey right now. As mentioned in the second post, the scale 1:1 would be a little better as well.

Bring it to one of our summer events. I have a 1/12 Ferrari F1 so we can race.

I don't have the cars, but I did buy the bodies in 1/12 for a F40, a Mansell F1, an Enzo and a 360. So if I ever get a cool car, I have some variety bodywise.

 

Tamiya recently re-released the 1:12 F50 in red & yellow. Previous issue was red only. Nice to have paid a multiple of the current going price a couple years ago to get one of the origional ones.

There is a few 1:8 F50 models hand build by an engineer in Germany which ran about $2,500 when I was offered one.

There is a story about Pocher making a prototype 1:8 F50 model and it was stolen at the Nurumberg Toy show.
