    I always thought it was KEY-YO-SHOW. A kid in a local hobby shop said KEY-O-SHOW. I have never heard this and offered to correct him. He said, no "I'm saying it right" LOL. Not that it's a big deal, but I want to be 100% correct. So which way is it? Or is it some other way? Thanks!

    Gotta love Google LOL. I think I may have answered my own question.

    I found this:

    "Unlike English, the Japanese language only has one pronunciation for their characters. So as far as I know, Kyosho is pronounced Kyo (key-yo) sho (show)."

    Looks like I was right!

    Any other input?

    You didn't quite break it down though.

    I see the "show", but how do you break the "kyo"?

    I assume you meant key-yo?

    You gotta save for one of their F40's. The 1:12 and 1:18 ones are beautiful. If you want to keep the price down, get a 1:43, it's nice too!

    when i saw the prices today, they gew up in 4/5 years, like 200%!!.

    they re thinking that customers are idiots, for spend 300/400€ for model in 1/12 and 80/150€ for 1/18.

    The 1:12's are about $400 here, and the 1:18's are about $100 here. IMO worth every penny!
