    It looks fantastic. I was not that big a fan of the 1/12 F50. I wish they would do a 1/12 F40. Kyosho's is good, but Tamiya is on a whole other level.

    Any idea on pricing for the Enzo. My guess is at least $500 (US) since the F50 was in that range when it first came out.

    Not sure when it's coming out in the UK, probably around the same time as Canada.

    As far as pricing, I've been told from my hobby shop it'll be about the same as their F50 when it first came out approx. $500 US

    Beautiful model. I will HAVE to get one.

    As for price we are probably looking at the $500.00 range or maybe a little bit more. Wait a few months and they will be able to be had at $400 hehe.

    In times like this, I would like to see Pocher back in business to make a 1/8th scale kit.

    Yeah that would be very nice. Those kits are amazing but sadly they will probably never be back. DARN!!!

    I wish I was a little shorter. It looks real enough for me.

    I know the engine is made of metal, don't know about the body. I found one place that is pre-selling at $449

    www.ewacars.com

    They also said a limited edition of 399 but they may be talking about the real car. If not, then this will sell fast!

    Well, confirmed it with ewa cars. Tamiya is only producing 399 of the Enzo just like the real car!

    Did they do this with the F50? I'm seeing the F50 kit now in yellow? Is that new?

    I like toy companies... they do 399 limited cars. And then they change the color and do another 399. LOL

    Mark,

    I know that Tamiya produced about 1000 of the fully-built F50 in the first series. I have no idea how many they built of the semi-assembled F50 in the 2nd series.

    They just might do the same with the Enzo if demand outstrips supply....
