Hello everybody,
Surfing on e-bay, I just found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/1-64-Mercedes-Benz-Resin-F400-Concept-Car-Silver-F-400_W0QQitemZ350200190950QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDiecas t_Vehicles?hash=item51898ed7e6&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1205%7C 240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

The seller says is a 1/64 kyosho, I never hear of this model... is perhaps an exclusive model?
What do you think?.

Weird car, don't remember it making the show car circuit.

I don't think it's a Kyosho, though. I tink seller is indicating it's a custom. Here is a question and answer on this from bottom of the listing:

Question & Answer
Q: is it made from plastic? or diecast metal? is it kyosho brand? Jun-10-09
A: it is made of resin and a custom model.

Tough to be certain, but seems that seller is indicatig it's a custom.

Still very cool for 1/64th scale................ $40 might be steep but cool none the less.

This is not a Kyosho.

Offhand, I can't remember what brand it is but I saw the webpage handling the sales several months ago. From what I recall, this is not diecast but resin. The kit came in a blister pack, similar to the Dydo cars which needed some assembling. I guess they repackaged it in an acrylic casing. I believe this was the only car`being offered by the company.

I almost bought it when the price was still $20 including shipping but I didn't like how the wheels were molded based on the closeup photos.

I'll ask my friend who gave me the heads up on this car for more details.

I cant do the 40 dollars, unless it is a Holy grail type of thing, and lately there are no Holy grails.
