Just got an update from CMC
These new Ferrari 250 GTO's should be here around the end of the year. Amazing CMC detail. "Built from 1,841 single parts, of which 1,215 are made of metal"
Yes, they confirmed that there are more Ferrari's to come.
Limited quantities coming, pre order from Legacy or Mint Models to reserve:

What color are you going with, Marlowe?
07/10/2015 7:45 am
Those are gorgous and I'm sure they will be stunning but I'm going to have to stick with my Kyosho version of the car. Great model in itself and fits better with my "beer budget".

Definitely Rosso Corsa to match the rest of my Ferrari collection! How about you?
07/10/2015 4:25 pm
Rosso Corsa being the 'race red,' right?
I took the same. I have CMC's 250 GT SWB in the silver livery, and the California in black, but I generally feel that Farrari's are meant to be red, and I really just can't get behind a 250GTO in any other color. It's just my personal preference.

I agree, Bob, the Kyosho is a terrific model. Especially the newer, more detailed version.
I have it already, and it is beautiful. I haven't seen much though that can stand shoulder to shoulder with a CMC for fine, complete detailing, and the 250GTO is one of my favorites. I gotta give CMC's a try! Maybe once I have both, I'll try my hand at a comparison. Can't promise the photography abilities of any of the other guys here, but it might be fun to try!
