                        1962 Ferrari GTO

                        My all-time favorite race car. Years ago, I could swear I saw a 1/12 scale plastic kit somewhere. Anybody know of it? If not, what's the biggest scale available today?
                        Thanks for any help.

                        Revell did have a 1/12 GTO some years ago, I don't know how accurate it was. From the looks of it in pictures I got the impression that it was to long and narrow, but I may be wrong. Never the less it's a wonderful car!

                        Probably my favorite car of all time. That and the GT-40.

                        To see some incredible builds of various versions of the 250GTO, go to www.italianhorses.net

                        Thanks, guys. The web site is great. Now that I have started this--I think 1962 was the best year for Ferrari cars to marry function and beauty. Do you know of models of the F1 cars as well?

                        i have an 1/18 Burrago kit of the GTO,
                        pretty basic, but a great looking car.

                        The 1/12 Revell kit is actually of a GTB, rather than a GTO. Both Aurora and Italeri have put out GTO kits in 1/24. The Aurora kit has been reissued by Revel, I think, but the Italeri is by far the better kit.

                        It's correct that Revell had a GTB, but some years ago they had a GTO to (actually a diecast) so it's possible to have both machines on the shelf. I found a one on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=7316&item=4207636801&rd=1 have a look on this gorgeous car, it isn't as bad as I rememberd...look good enough to me.

                        The GTO must be just about the most beautifully shaped auto that ever existed.
                        The 288GTO was also a real stunner.

                        OK, I didn;t know about the diecast. It does look like a decent model.

                        Renwall originally produced a 1/12 Ferrari 275 GTB, then Revell aquired the molds and released it in the early 80's I believe. The Revell issue is known for having thinner plastic and suffering broken windshield posts from it's thinner box.
