Hi Phil. I have two of these. The red and blue. I still have them in the boxes and not displayed yet. I have not looked at them in two or three years.I will check and get back to you.

PICS - Phil, I took some time and did a comparison to your model. It would appear...

... that the "notch" in the wheelwell radius is endemic to all of the CMC Ferrari GTOs. It would appear that the yellow color on yours makes it stand out more.

Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon practice at CMC as they got the rear wheelwell shape wrong on the Maserati birdcage as well. As good as CMC models usually are, and we have to admit, they make some of the best models in the world, this is an area that sometimes they just don't do well.
