    Tamiya 1:12 288 GTO

    Tamiya America Item #23211 | 1/12 Ferrari GTO - Semi-Assembled Premium Model

    oh yes... it shall be mine... The only one of "the big 4" missing from my 1:12 collection. Been waiting on this one for years.

    great car, great model, I would greatly appreciate if Tamiya would do a real kit too.

    Nice. Tamiya always makes quality products.

    So what are the other 3 cars in your big 4?

    F40, F50 and Enzo, I'm guessing

    The Tamiya 1:12s are too expensive for me

    Maybe.

    I've never really bought Tamiya 1:12 scale models. In fact, I've never built any of them. I only have a R/C car that I have yet to run. But through my father, I know that Tamiya makes good models. His childhood hobby was model making. I should pick that hobby up too.

    I have a load of tamiyas - Boomerang, Top Force Evo, Dynastorm, Avante, Wild Willy, Taisan Porsche and a monster beetle. Used to be on Tamiya Club till a few years ago. Most of mine are shelf queens apart from the Taisan Porsche.

    I even went on a tour of the HQ in Shizouka Japan - now that was cool

    you can buy one of those from Revell, they produced them at least 10 years ago, and it was a pretty good model too.

    Quick update. I got the Revell 1:12 250 GTO (in Red no less) - I've got the 1:12 288 GTO on pre-order. It's been delayed several times, but apparently some are shipping this week. I should find out tomorrow when mine is going to ship out...

    the 1/16 Fujimi kit is available again, both in red and in yellow, much cheaper, but needs some work....
