[Dj Dirk]

Congrats Yelmer

the car is great huh
where did you buy the AA displaybox and for how much?

i actually want a GMP casing for my GT40, because the AA isnt wide enough, i can't place the doors open in that one

 

[jelmer]

I have bought mine here in Holland for 70 euro's. I choosed for this one, because it's small. It's mostly for dust that i have it. And i think i will buy some more one of these days for my other 1/12 models.

Do you have a photo of that GMP case? I'm curious how big that one is

that's the GMP case, i only have 1 AA case, but i keep my GMP GT40 Mk II in there, and i can't open up the doors since its too small, and a you can see on that pic it should be wide enough with teh GMP case

 

[jelmer]

you are right

but if you look at the corvette in the other picture.. for that car it is to small. I like that GMP box also, with that nice wooden plate!



Ps.: If you have a GMP-box.. and don't need the AAbox anymore... you know were to find me :wink: :green:

 

[Dj Dirk]

dream on
i will be needing that AA box myself, there are still other 1/12's that i want, and i will need more then 1 new box

BTW do you already know that the AA box is available in 2 versions
the one you have with the shiny black surface
and then the one i have with a carbon fibr surface look

 

[jelmer]

:green: It was worth to try

I know that there are two versions, but i don't like the carbon surface :-? I like the shiny one more, because it reflects the underside of the car al bit.

How many 1/12 models do you have? And wich models do you still want to buy?

 

[Dj Dirk]

At the moment i got

Tamiya F50
Tamiya Enzo
Kyosho F40
GMP GT40 Mk II
AutoArt Merc CLK GTR

i would love to get the blue CLK GTR aswell
but 1st i'm hunting down at least 2 more GMP's
a GT40 Mk I & a Mk IV

then an AA Murcielago 40th Anny would be sweet aswell, that one is coming later this year, but AA has just raised there prices since this month

and then the new releases for Koysho in 1/12, those are very dangerous:
- F40 Lightweight (different wheel/seat, sliding window)
"under development":
- Countach
- LP500
- Miura
- Jota SVR
- Enzo

for the Enzo they are WAY to late, but i would be interested in that F40 lightweigt, the Miura & the Jota SVR
i've also almost bought the Kyosho Vanquish & Z8 before

 

[jelmer]

That's a nice list! Not all Ferrari, but very very nice!

I'm very interested in the F40 Lightweight! I think it's gonna be a very nice model to add to my collection. There isn't any release date is it, or pictures of it? It's Kyosho, so it will have the same quality as the F40.

If Kyosho is releasing the Enzo as well, then i'm not going to buy it. I already have the Tamiya..

here is my 1/12 list:

Ferrari Enzo Tamiya
Ferrari F50 Tamiya
Ferrari F40 Kyosho
Ferrari 250GTO Revell
Ferrari 250P Retrotoys
Ferrari 312T4 Tamiya
Ferrari 126C2 Revell

And i would love to see a 288GTO in 1/12 scale to make the supercars of Ferrari complete.

 

[Dj Dirk]

well, it should be a release list for 2005
so somewhere this year, i haven't seen pics of it yet.

as for the Enzo, i'm not getting it either since i also have teh Tamiya already, i can only hope that they also decide to do a 288 GTO

 

[Andrew]

That model looks awesome. Very cool!

 

[toco004]

hecka sweet car

 

[Stradale]

i can only hope that they also decide to do a 288 GTO

I hope too.

 

[Dj Dirk]

small update, i've seen the new Kyosho F40 lightweight, looks cool, but not sure of i want to get it, i'm going to wait a bit till it is officially released
and then wich one i'm more interested in, AutoArt is releasing a D-Type wich looks stunning

 

[MPC]

supercars 1/12

 

[Granucci]

These 1/12's are the ones to get.

 

[Neonzapper]

These 1/12's are the ones to get.

I would say they are second only to 1:1 scale :thumbsup:
