CMM BRM P153/160 in 1/12th scale!! I always loved the P160. I think they wanted to do Pedro's car. Nice work on the 308GTB model by the way. Tom Tanner/Ferrari Expo 2013-Chicago March 23rd 2013 Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yeah, I saw that too. I had Yardley BRM as a toy car when I was a kid. Loved it. It's also for "Sifort".
Insane 1/12th scale Hiro Lotus 97T kits Renault engine build directions. I am not a Senna fan at all(he was considered a great driver and an ass when alive driving people off the road at will on purpose), but this model kit is amazing..........

New tool 1/24th Tamiya 934 kit coming soon: http://tamiyamodelmagazine.com/blog/2013/01/09/on-the-way-from-tamiya-2/
Your guess is as good as mine. No release date given. You guys are getting a little slow over at f1m on everything but Hiro and Tamiya releases. Tom Tanner/Scale Designs/Ferrari Expo 2013-Chicago March 23rd 2013
Just finished building this 1/43 scale AGS F1 JH24. It is based on a tameo kit for the AGS JH23 and I was able to find a resin transkit on ebay to make it into the 1990 car. Although the resin kit wasn't very precise. I got the driver (Tarquini) from a diecast model. And yes, he sits a tad too high. Oh well. Why bother with this? Well, I got a chance at driving a JH24 and wanted the model as a souvenir. Sadly they repainted the original car with some hideous fantasy livery (and did a few other mods as well). PS: While the tameo kit is ancient, the transkit is probably more recent. At any rate I didn't think this model has been covered here anyway.

I'm hoping, and expecting, Tamiya will make a 1:24 scale kit of the new Ferrari super car. Did anyone here buy the 1:12 Enzo kit? That seemed like a good idea on Tamiya's part to make some more money on a product they introduced a while back. -F
The CMM kits are all around $ 400. Which is a lot of money but then again still cheaper than trying to find a long gone kit from Europe where you can easily end up paying twice as much.
New Mercedes W154 1938 GP kit from Fernando Pinto in 1/24th scale. Tom Tanner/Ferrari Expo 2013-Chicago March 23rd 2013 Image Unavailable, Please Login
Next up from Fernando Pinto........Porsche 804 French GP 1962 in 1/24th scale!!! About time someone figured out F1 cars and sportscars should be made in the same scale.... 1/24th!!! 1/43rd and 1/12th don't have this problem. Vanwall VW5 1957 coming next also in 1/24th scale. Tamiya really screwed things up back in the late 1970's when they came up with 1/20th scale F1 kits(so that they could fit the toy motor batteries in the Tyrell P34 kit because the tub was to narrow in 1/24th scale for the batteries. That fact came from Ebbro's owner as he was an engineer at Tamiya back then!!!) Tom Tanner/Scale Designs/Ferrari Expo 2013-Chicago March 23rd 2013
Tamiya will also present the rerelease of the 1/24th Ford Zakspeed at the Nürnberg Toy Fair. They will also present a 1/10th R/C version of the Ferrari 458 Challenge and the F2012.
