    They probably will. I think they are going to do something really cool if they bring out all models they made in different scales. I mean if they make the F50 in 1:43 then they should make it in 1:18 too. We are starting to see this tendency as they already announced they are making the F40 lightweight version in 1:18 and they already released the regular just like they did in 1;12. Let's keep our fingers crossed for 1:12 512BB and Testarossa. However this is just my own speculation based solely on my wishful thinking. Besides if they do that it wouldn't be for a few years.
    Anyone has pictures of the 1:12 Lambo? And by they way, if they come out with a 1:12 Miura I'm getting it even that I collect only F-cars in 1:12

    OH, yes and lets not forget the 365 Daytona. And honestly as long as they come out with them, I don't care what color. Red better than none. Besides they have been pretty good with their color selection on offer.
    Now just imagine a 1:12 Daytona in LM trim or a 575 GTC......

    I actually like the model of Kyosho's 1/12 Countach, but would have preferred a less unusual color. Also, I think these models appear to be quite overpriced compared to their 1/18 counterparts.

    I don't think that AutoArt, Kyosho and Tamiya realize how much money they could be making by producing 1/12 scale models that people would love to have, such as a 1/12 288 GTO, 328, 348, 360 Modena, 512TR, F40 LM, Diablo VT, etc.

    I'd love to have a 1:12 288 GTO (I know Morry has some, but I'd like one that had opening parts and such)

    i also think the price is a bit high. but that seems to be the going rate for 1/12 models nowadays. 1/18 models used to be pricey at $60, now they are all about $80. at least the quality is going up too.


    so...is there going to be a cavallino models fchat special???? :)
