    Hiro's passing is a shock. He raised the game for everyone; I doubt any maker will ever top Model Factory Hiro (although I'm sure opinions differ). It will be interesting to see how the company moves forward without him. Condolences to Kyoko as well as all his friends, family and employees.

    A legend gone.

    I think he probably had a list of cars he was doing. Kyoko will continue with that list.

    I agree with you 100 %, one of a kind company. Tameo and others in 1/43rd scale have done the same thing, but not in such a large scale:p......

    When will Tamiya make a new Ferrari kit?

    The SF-23 in 1:20 or the SF-90 XX Stradale in 1:24 would be nice.

    It's been ages, what was their last new Ferrari release.

    Wasn't it like a 1/20 Schumacher F1 car ?

    Tamiya made a 1:24 kit of the LaFerrari.

    The SP3 Daytona in 1:24 would be cool.

    Tamiya have been a pretty big disappointment to automotive modelers for quite some time now. Speculation that the success of Meng, Beemax, Nunu, et al might get Tamiya going again has, so far, not produced even rumors of new automotive kits.

    Just found this thread, looks like some nice models been build by some people here, been doing it myself couple years back, now i just cant bring myself to start anymore, and i got some (in my opinion) very cool sets still laying around (including a Tamiya Williams FW14B in 1/12 scale)...

    Never seen a race car version of a 308GT4 before.
    How's the location of the fuel filler....weird.

    Nice. I think I used to have the old FDS turd, errr, I mean white metal kit of this car. Always had a big soft spot for the 308GT4.

    They were made by AMF himself as he sells them built also.

    Thank you! I thought they might possibly be his builds.

    First batch of the 1/12th Hiro Cobra Daytona kits sold out. I have never heard of that happening before. They are making a second batch ASAP to cover the unfilled pre orders. $650.00 including shipping from Hiro Japan.

    Any idea how many kits they produced? And what their average production run quantity is on their 1:12th kits?
