1/8 scale 312 T4

Post by badun »

From DeAgostini. $1,500 USD and only 100 available starting today with delivery in September. Just got an email offer in the mail from Model Space about it so I thought I'd share.

Already started in Germany - currently we are on Pack 4 of 12 - monthly delivery, just in time so far.
Quality not bad - needs some fixing on the parts - overpainted cutting edges and ridges.
Looks like the scaled up the 1/12 Tamiya Kit - mostly the parts looks similar.

Ok. Then why buy it for $1500 when you can find a Tamiya? I get the MP4/4. Or MP4/23.

1/8 cars are impressive, though yes the detail must be up to it, I suppose.
No effect wow on this ne as we see pics, and detail is not that great...
Built? a joy to see most probably.
I have a 1/4 Jaguar (R3, I think) if someone is interested 8)
