For me personally the 355 is one of the last "beautiful" ferrari's and the newer ones don't come close to this. Model looks very nice but do you really think it's better than the kyosho?

Only small thing I don't like are the half opened side windows, never been a fan of these on elite versions. Also love the other ferrari's and rest of your collection .

thanks Bodi & Alain

I actually had the Kyosho 355 before si I show you the pics
to make the comparism easier.

I sended the model bacl very quickly because I was
hugely disappointed

pics of my old Kyosho 355 that had to go.

thanks, I can see that some of the gaps are rather large and for the price should have been better, plus for hwe

To bad that Kyosho is heading towards a no-go. The price/quality scale is rather unbalanced.
HW is doing a great job on this one, but due to the contract that they signed with Ferrari, Kyosho is forced to go upmarket with the price and must sell there models for more than $150 per piece...

yap rsh, its a big Dilemma for them.

They have to sell their Ferraris for steep prices but simply can´t deliver for that amount of cash.
100,- is ok and they did an awesome job on the F40 or 328 GTB or 512 BBi.

But charging 200 EUR and wrong shape and such big gaps

Kyosho should focus more on other cars like they Panteras they promised us many months ago.

I understand you're not happy with the big gaps, that's terrible, but a wrong shape I don't understand what's wrong with his shape

It just does not look right to me

Hey Faultier. I think the shape is rather ok on the Kyosho F355 but the gaps indeed are really not done.
But there are some other things to:
1) did you look at the wheel suspension? Almost no detail at all if you compare it with the REGULAR Kyosho Testarossa and 512TR
from years ago as they had a full working suspension and costed only 80 Euros. I compared them and was really amazed that a high end was not as good as a regular version.
2) there comes some black paint through the red paint on the bonnet of my model. Omg, on a high end???
3) above the left front wheel there is some red paint missing on my model. On a high end???
4) the steering wheel on my model is not connected with the wheels so it doesn't turn with them
5) The engine is not wired. OK, there are some tubes but not a real wiring.

This is probably my first and immediately last high end version of Kyosho I've ever bought. I had high expectations of this model also
because I really love this particular Ferrari but I'm rather disappointed I wanted to give it a change but I think I'm going to buy the HW Elite version also.
For the money of that Kyosho F355 I have an AutoArt Lancia Delta S4 which is much, much better quality. I think Kyosho should take an example from AutoArt very urgently...

exactly my thoughts.

The 355 is also one of my fav. Ferraris and I had high hope and thought, well for 200 EUR
they surely deliver nice stuff, but in the end I was also very disapponted.

Buy the HWE and be happy again

I find it the better colour...



The front (headlights, fog lights...) of the Kyosho seems to look a bit better than the HWE, in my opinion.

ou, you already have it

No, this picture comes from a topic for this E39 M5 on a forum dedicated to OttoMobile (Otto-Modelsfans).
In France they are already delivered...
