Model Factory Hiro has been posting teaser photos of kits before officially announcing them for a couple of years or so. Check out the link. Could be a DW12. DW12 ? |

Yup, 100% its a DW12. Having 3d modeled one myself, its way too similar. 1/12th scale perhaps?

Really? Only 7 freakin' days. WTF!!! It looks great. How many engineers are working on this thing? Anybody ever see the movie Crazy People. I think of the add they did at the end for Sony when I look at this.

I guess I can confirm that they are working on a DW12 - don't know if they said what scale yet, so I'll keep my mouth shut on that  |

Not that I know a LOT beyond what they're posting - just the scale and driver(s). Of course, would they be bothering if Alonso didn't run this year. Yes, they would. |

Awe c'mon. At least let me know if I can keep working on my conversion for the Auto World cars or if I can stop. From one Mike to another.
Thanks,
Mike

Why, it's just us. No one else here. Perhaps, but it would be poor business practice to say what I know if they haven't said anything yet. Not that I know a LOT beyond what they're posting - just the scale and driver(s). Of course, didn't really expect an answer. My preference would 1/43. But then I fear the price. Of course, would they be bothering if Alonso didn't run this year. Yes, they would. That's good news. If only I could think of another International driver in a Honda this year. |

Sato's win is probably the biggest influence on a kit coming out of Japan. If Alonso's participation was enough, we'd have seen them making the car in May. Still holding my $$$ for a kit from Washington. It is my preferred scale and the most likely DW12 producer to make other Indycar kits Jordan |

Not a dealer, but I did supply them with the artwork for both versions. They are only planning on doing 300 total kits right now. The plan originally was to do just Sato, but they saw the wisdom of doing Alonso as well. As I am working on 2016 Rossi decals, that will be another winner one can do with this kit and I plan on doing more. I was told they hope to have them out next month.

Is there some secret to pre-ordering? On the page Michael (AKA Not-Mike :-) ) posted above, there appears to be links to pre-order, but they don't work.
Though I work all day long on the internet, I remain amazingly inept when it comes to these things. I still haven't figured out how to set the radio stations in my new C-Max.
