Looking very good - especially in that gleaming blue color (from the 50's to the 70's a lot of Ferraris had other colors than the usual red) - nice comparison with the mighty looking 599. It does not have anything to do with Protar - it's Italeri's own kit, relatively simple to build (compared with Fujimi), main issue is the Dunlop racing tires which already graced their 250 GTO, 250 SWB, 250 GT California spider, 275 GTB/4 and 275 GTS/4 Spider NART.

Very nice build! The Lamborghini Miura is - together with the Ferrari 250 GT Lusso and the Dino 246 GT - one of the most beautiful sports cars ever (at least in my opinion). Helmut

I would think that Revell is going to reissue their 250 GTO from the 90's this time (which was a repacked Italeri GTO) because the remark "neue Form " (= new mold) is missing here. I'm asking myself why they won't release a 250 GT Lusso (my favorite Ferrari since I have owned the Matchbox # 75 car as a kid in the mid '60s); a 1966 330 GTC or a 1958 250 TdF would also be great! I don't think we need another 250 GTO after Fujimi's very good kit (only the Avon tires are a big fault!) Though I have bought Revell's Mini and 2 CV, I also have acquired about 95 1/24 die-casts in the last 3 years - mainly of cars that we will hardly ever see as plastic kits (will be disassembled, repainted, detailed and or converted) - most of them came out in Italy, promoted from Quattroruote car magazine. Some of the models I have: Citroen DS, Citroen Dyane, Lancia B24 Spider, Lancia Fulvia Coupé, Fiat 124 Spider, Fiat X1/9, Mercedes Benz 230 SL, BMW 1600-2 (Same body as 2002), Ford Capri and Escort Mk 1 and a lot of different Alfa Romeos: Giulia Super, Giulietta Sprint coupé, Giulietta Sprint Speciale coupé, GT1300 junior, 1600 Spider Duetto (The Graduate!), 1750 Berlina, 1800 Alfetta, Alfasud, 1900 Berlina, 1900 Sprint, tipo 33 stradale (1967), Montreal etc.etc... Several among them would make great kits but I don't think this will happen during the rest of my life. Helmut
