Recently, Kazuhiro Igeta wrote about a new kit car:

Actually, the scale is 1/12.

I went to a local hobby shop, "The Kit and Kaboodle", here in California.
They did not have the kit, but they did have a picture of it. This model
is INCREDIBLY beautiful. The details are AMAZING. The store called the
Tamiya distributor for price and availability. I just got a reply from
the owner of the store.
The kit is only available on special order and the price is _$350.00_.
But think of the possibilities. You wouldn't have to worry about
parking space. You could park it on your kitchen table!
I want one, Kazuhiro. How much is 19,800 yen? Oh yeah, does it take as
long to put together as the real thing?
