Nice.
I got #12. But they didn't get the model quite right. Should have been done with white stripes, not black. Also the color of blue is supposed to be Deep Impact Blue, but the diecast model is some generic shade of blue.
I think you're mistaking this for the 1/10th scale RC car, which was released quite a while ago.
This is the 1/24 plastic model kit, which has not been released yet. The giveaway is sponsored by Tamiya for this Friday the 13th (of March), ahead of its summer release.
I'm looking forward to this model kit's release. Tamiya has a promotional give away, which gives one a chance to win one of these kits before its release.

New 1:32 scale diecast toy. Opening doors, hood & trunk. Plus, it has working lights and I believe also has engine sounds. Not your AUTOart quality kind of model, but still nice to see new GT350 models/toys on the market.
I saw it on opening weekend. Took the Shelby of course! :like:
If any of you are watch fans, you might be interested to know that Damon's Carroll Shelby is wearing a Heuer Carrera and Bale's Ken Miles is wearing a Heuer Autavia.

Automobile Magazine has an article based on the MT Head2Head video (which was discussed here: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/2019-gt350-h2h-2020-supra-gr-motortrend-on-demand.129627/)

Interesting write up, especially for those who like to ponder on such matters. :like:
But for me, the answer is a quick & simple no. The GT350 fits my needs perfectly, I don't need an R and don't need a 500. Just as I'm happy with my 911 Carrera S and don't need a GT3 or RS.
If it were me, easy choice - Ford Performance Blue. It looks consistently good in every pic I've seen. Velocity, sometimes very nice, sometimes not as much, depends on the lighting.
Nice to see the GT350 do so well again, its still got it. A few years back the GT350R also finished second, a head of the 991.2 Porsche 911 but behind a McLaren.
Based on looks alone, that Aston Martin DBS Superleggera would be my pick. It's one fine looking car.
I'm impressed that the 5 year old GT350, albeit with some updates, can hold its own with the brand spanking new 992 Carrera S. That says a lot! :like:
I've owned a 997 Carrera S for over 10 years now and it's all the 911 I'll probably ever need. When I bought my GT350, the wife said the 911...
Interesting article for me, as I'm a fan of the '90s Supra MKIV and like the new MKV (despite it being a BMW).
It's a close one, but the GT350 wins yet another comparison test. :like...
Yeah, seems like Avalanche Grey and Deep Impact Blue aren't out until Dec/Jan, and the blue one has black stripes (I want white stripes). :frown:
From a quick scan of ebay, the red and white models are out now. There's also a special limited edition green and a metallic grey/silver model too. I...
