The F1M Forums

Hey guys, trying to get back into the hobby and am surprised at the lack of 1/12,F1 kits(tamiya) available ,anywhere. I'm equally surprised at some of the high prices this apparent dearth has caused. Has Tamiya quit stamping out 1/12 kits as they were a few years back? I'm mostly interested in the 6...

thanks guys...Marco,looking for the '71 Lemans and Sebring winners..HB has Sebring but not LeMans ( you have a cool site btw)

Does anyone know aprox how long it takes to receive an in-stock kit shipped to the states from HB and HLJ? Also, looking for a specific Fujimi Porsche 917 kit and neither of these two have it...who else should I try other than ebay?

great, Steffen, thanks! I think I'll go ahead and get both kits CB

Ahh, I see. I knew all of the experts here would know. Thanks guys, my curiosity is satiated. Steffen it would be great if you could PM or post pics. Thanks again, Chris

I've always been curious as to why the Tamiya Lotus 102D is more pricey than the other Tamiya 1/20 F1 cars...since it was first released it seems like. Not that it's prohibitive at all, I've just always wondered. Anyone have an idea?

fascinating! thanks for the effort!

Alex,this is exactly the kind of info I was looking for on the Profils..thanks for the tip. What ingenious livery design,should make a gorgeous kit. I'll def be watching.. Much luck! CB

Alex,wow, that Maserati is gorgeous...I'll check out your WIP right away. Manu, it's on the MAFMA site..(http://www.mafma.com/profil24.htm) You don't see subjects such as the Alan Mann P68 , Peugeot SP66 or Lotus XI Le Mans in this scale everyday,huh? Thanks for your insight guys! CB

Hey guys-What are your opinions ,either from experience or second hand knowledge, of the Profil 1/24 kits? Quality, ease of build, accuracy,etc. I was impressed with their variety.
