Took pictures of my two 330P4 ... except for the high stance and all of them affected by some level of paint rash, they are nice models.

Yes, really cool models, sorry to hear about the rash.   😫 😫 😫    It will ALWAYS erk  me that many (too many ) modern diecasts, at all price points, suffer from rash  and/or cancer,  but barely any older/vintage diecasts ever seem to deteriorate in any way.      What does that tell you (us )?  😠 😠

These GMP Ferrari's are listed for sale online and every listing I have seen all say the same thing they have paint rash and it seems they were all effected that way when new as the ones I have seen were listed as new in box but with a disclaimer about the paint rash issues with this release. Other than that they are cool looking cars and if you can over look the paint rash are nice to look at in a collection.

Super video, thanks.   It's nothing I'd ever want, but I certainly appreciate all the tremendous engineering, labor and history.     I mean....   How can I not have great respect for original "hammer marks?"

Yes, the 2 you see above are listed online, they are both 0000. Honestly, I don't really want to sell them, hence the higher prices, but they are nice advertisement. The paint rash has not changed since I acquired them in 2013. Doesn't seem to be evolving rot. Actually the red one was won on a fundraiser auction here directly from GMP.

The GMP model looks like SUV compared to the original. Moreover, the opening features and oversized rivets make it look crude. Detail of the engine bay and the cabin is nice though.
