Fujimi has announced that they will realease a new tooling Ferrari 250 GTO. Due for release in July, it will come with layered plastic wire wheels, which I'm told should not require the P.E. treatment that Hasegawa offered for their recent Testa Rossa.

Here's a link,...

Too bad only a fraction of the Fujimi kits reach Europe nowadays.

Looks good, eventhough I am not a Ferrari fan.

I wonder if they could do a Jaguar E type like that though

Revell Germany already has this kit out and has had for about 8-10 months, and it is a beauty of a kit.

Save your self $20 + and buy the RoG kit.

As far as the wire wheels that come with the Hasegawa 250TR kit, there is nothing wrong with them, just Hassy offers a PE alternative to the kit wheels, mind you at about half the price that the TR kit runs mind you!!

Hi Scott,

The Revell Germany 250 GTO kit is not the new Fujimi model. It is a rebox of the old Protar kit, which is nice but nothing like this new tooling.
