blubaja Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 If they made a LHD cube, then they'd have to make a whole different body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 anyone else heard of a rumor fo a modern F1 car comming from Tamiya ? Bud, that would be the Ferrari F60 as was posted in the very first post. That is the car that is running now in F1. The AMG has an option kit as well. Supposed to have engine detail.

B_rad88 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 question? is that fiat 500 abarth the regular version or is it the abarth ss version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 The AMG has an option kit as well. Supposed to have engine detail. Chris The optional version is different wheels (described by a guy on AF as Brabus Mono Block E wheels vs. 5 spokes on the regular SL63 AMG), I think they'll all have an engine, at least in the first go-round.

Zoom Zoom Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 If they made a LHD cube, then they'd have to make a whole different body. I hadn't thought that far ahead, but you are right, and Fujimi will never do that. For those that don't know, the Cube has asymmetrical rear glass/pillars, so RHD and LHD versions are mirror images of each other...swapping a LHD dash isn't enough, a whole new body, with different glass and interior would be necessary. I really liked the last generation Cube which wasn't sold here...the new one looks goofy, way too much radius in the window corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Looking forward to the SL63 AMG...just spotted it on HLJ's site a few min ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubaja Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 It would be nice tho. I hope they do the special "wave" patterns on the interior correctly on the Cube. Check this out. That is on the headliner. The design follows on teh door speaker as well, and echoes on the plastic of the rear door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea on release dates ? Bud Bud, AMG is a tuning company that works with Mercedes. IF you are so inclined take a look at this: http://www.mercedes-amg.com/#/home Yeah, saw that bob. I went with the optional wheel kit. We'll see if I like the rims or not. Otherwise I'll have to find something more adequate to throw on there. The Black edition would really be nice.

Chris not completely, Mercedes owns AMG, so you can say that AMG is like M-sport(BMW), Abarth (Fiat), Quattro (Audi) etc...etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygre Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Just received the Aoshima Evo X Ralliart. Great kit. I have still yet to work up a full review for the magazine, but my only gripe so far is that the kit has the "star" style wheels and not the BBS type seen on the Evo MR and Aoshima's other Evo X kits. Parts for LHD included and not just the dash - cowl, wipers, and console too. Got notification yesterday that my SL63 AMG is on its way too. From the photos of the kit I have seen on Japanese web sites it looks like Aoshima has hit another one out of the park! And it is not a curbside! Full review to follow when the kit gets here. Happy holidays everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
