Tamiya are currently following the path of pre-made models, from 1:350 ships to 1:35 armour, in fact it seems most of Tamiya's scale model range is being considered as a potential pre-built 'collector's model'. Whether or not this excites you is of course a matter of personal taste, but it can't be denied that Tamiya's rapidly expanding line up of these items is impressive, particularly the cars and bikes which as kits require a lot of pre-assembly preparation, not to mention a perfect paint finish and immaculate decals. To many, the crowning achievement in this product range are the 1:12 scale Ferraris, of which there are now number three in the series. The latest to arrive is the simply breathtaking Enzo, and accompanying it in this review is the equally brash F50 'Giallo Modena', as promoted in our last issue. The two models are actually quite different in constructional approach. The, F50 was designed some time back, but not fully released until last year, and you'll find our review of the red edition in Issue 96, Feb/ March 2003. Now we have the yellow car, and as you would expect, it's physically the same as the first model.
