Tricky question: what scale are these? ;)

Yes, they are 1/64, and pics don't do justice. But I think they could be easily mistaken for a larger scale. Kyosho is really making some very cool stuff in 1/64. It's too bad that they are quite expensive, when they leave the Japan.

Thanks! :)

What I like too is, that they are true 1:64, so you can compare between cars. For example, Jaguar XJ220 looks huuuuge in comparison to Lotus Europa.

You should see the Lotus 7... it is SOOO tiny, it is almost half the size of the early Matchbox Superfast!! Wonder what the actual scale is of the Matchbox Lotus 7...

Those are wonderful models. I love the Lotuses (Loti?) very much, but you're right - the XJ220 is my favorite, too. It's almost otherworldly, like something from a more advanced planet.

The pinstripes on the Europa are amazing, especially for 1/64...Thanks for posting your fine photos!

Very nice. I love extra detail in 1/64 scale cars. It is so much harder to duplicate and you appreciate them that much more. I just landed a Kyosho Lotus Exige. I'll have to get some pics up once it arrives. I doubt they will be as nice as yours. Please don't be sorry for the number of pics, they are all great...keep 'em coming!!

I love these so much; it's so amazing how much detail they can add into something that is so small. I absolutely love the Louts Esprit, as it looks grand in that color.

Thanks for the excellent photographs! You do the cars real justice. :thumbsup:
I have only one Kyosho, a '59 Ferrari 250GT California 1:64 kit, in black. :)
