Tamiya currently uses one chassis type to replicate current F1 cars and vintage F1 from the 70s and 80s. They just supply different wheels/tires and front suspension and the appropriate body to go from a 2012 car to a 1980s car, and still look very scale! I hope I'm expaining this properly.
Yes, you do keep going on and on about it. I can even see your point with the Corally car. That said, and this is something I've seen you ignore numerous times: the 'very scale' Tamiya F1 cars aren't. The wheelbase is off substantially. With your whole scale argument that becomes very thin ice indeed.
Before any of you dismiss what I'm saying; be honest with yourselves and think back to what drew you to F1 racing in the first place!
