martinfan5 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 The underlined aroused my interest. Could it be an FXX-K? I am thinking the same thing.
socal76 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Both of you are going to be behind me to get one! Jus' saying!! LOL
Richard Bartrop Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I don't suppose it could be the original GTO?
Exotics_Builder Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) I don't suppose it could be the original GTO? As Fujimi has done a decent 250 GTO recently, along with the previous Italeri and Protar(reboxed Revell AG) versions, I don't think it likely. I could be wrong, but since Tamiya has done the LaFerrari, an FXX-K would be a good extension. This would be in the spirit of the previous Enzo-FXX releases. If they were doing something from that era, I would push for a 250 GT Lusso. We'll find out in a couple of weeks. We could all be fooled and it will be a Maserati MC12 Edited January 13, 2016 by Exotics_Builder
Merkur XR4Ti Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 New Championship winning motorcycle replica I wonder which motorcycle that's going to be?
Matt Bacon Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 It's true the FXX-K is most likely. I'd LIKE it to be one of these: bestest, M.
stavanzer Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 What Alfa is that Matt? I want one. I'd settle for the Italeri, Revell, or Heller version, if there is one.
Matt Bacon Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Me, too, but there isn't... ;-(It's a Giulia TZ2, which they only built 12 of, but it was very successful in its class in 65/66 for a short while before Alfa abandoned the GT class and focused on the Tipo 33.Of course, I'd like a Tipo 33 Stradale even more, but as the name suggests, that's a street, not racing car, so that's DEFINITELY not what Tamiya is making...bestest,M. Edited January 13, 2016 by Matt Bacon
stavanzer Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks, Matt. I'd never seen that TZ2. What a looker! I think I like it better than the Prancing Horse.
Mr. Metallic Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 New paints? I have seen lots of new Polycarbonate Only paints this past year, hopefully they're making additions to the regular plastic paint line.
Junkman Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I'll have my agents at the fair, as usual. Will post the news as they become available, like I did last year.So far, not much advance info has transpired, they are all shrouding themselves in silence.Can't wait for the doors to open...
250 Testa Rossa Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Maybe the 1/24 Italian Sports Car is a Maserati Birdcage.
Jhedir6 Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 It's cool and all that the speculation is of older racers.....but how about the newer 458 GT2/3? I know there's a couple TK's and slot cars available but a full kit would be nice. Or, even better, the new 488 GT which is replacing the 458. I'd like to see some modern GT love myself. It seems lately no ones making any current GT cars. Fujimi did the BMW GT3 and the McLaren MP412C, but no one did the Viper SRT, Corvette C7R, Porsche 991 RSR ( slot companies, yes I know, I have some of them). Also Tamiya hasn't done a Japanese Super GT car in awhile either, so personally I'm hoping for something abit more current.But I'm usually wrong.David

The top division (which has been where their Super GT kits have been focused) was one of 3 makes this year. Honda NSX, Nissan GT-R, or Lexus RS-F.I'm thinking the FXX-K would be the most likely candidate. Edited January 14, 2016 by niteowl7710
cmfowler Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 The Italian track car, which I would guezs would be the FXX-K, and the championship motorcycle have my interest.
Gt fan Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 The FXX-k would make sense. They have most of the car with the fxx. I was thinking maybe a Lambo gt-3 since they are set to race in IMSA this year. Any new kit is a good kit!

Pete J. Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 The beauty of their statement is that is limits the item by very little. Let's see, Italian track only. That would be Lancia, Fiat, Maserati, Alfa, Lamborghini oh, yea and that other company Ferrari. Since the did a 300SL I would love to see something of the same era and there are really only a couple of hundred to choose from. Honestly, I cant wait to find out!
jaydar Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 I was hoping for the 288 GTO in 1/12th. The bike will be welcome whatever it is but I would have preferred a road bike.Joe.
sjordan2 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 I was hoping for the 288 GTO in 1/12th. The bike will be welcome whatever it is but I would have preferred a road bike.Joe.Have you checked out the 1/16 Fujimi-Testors 288 GTO?

EL LOCO Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 New Championship winning motorcycle replica.........Now this is what I'm looking forward to
