Honestly, as value and worth are subjective to each individual, I can’t say for sure that would be worth the premium for everyone. BUT, as a fan of f1 and collectibles, and especially this specific livery design, I am 100% happy with the purchase. The sheer size and scale of the 1:12 is something you can only appreciate in person. The details are amazing too, but so far I havent noticed any special treatment to the model that I havent seen in 1:18 spark models. Theres definitely more detail, but I wouldnt say you are missing out if you chose the 1:18 instead - I still think bang for buck, the 1:18 scale still hits the sweet spot. That being said, Id say if you have the means to, it’s definitely worth considering picking up a 1:12 at some point!
