Kyosho - 250 GTO

[T4Tiv]

Hi all - Been waiting for a while for this 1/18th scale model to be released. First it was 1st quarter, then 2nd quarter - and now seems to be pushed back further still. Seems to be a lot of people taking pre-orders, but nobody with the actual model. Anyone got any better i.e non guesswork, information on the release date. Thanks

I thought Bburago made on years ago, I am sure my Dad has one.

Burago have made one, Mattel Elite have one ..........but my guess is that short of CMC/Exoto or BBR, then the Kyosho model is the one to wait for .......thanks Andrew

They have a real 250GTO in the Matsuda Collection apparently, well I have seen a photo when my Dad and Brother went to see it.

Looks lovely in the pics.

I have a few Kyosho things and they're great value. Great quality at a reasonable price IMO.

We collect real cars not just models. The Burago car is fine for sitting in a glass case in the house along with some other models. We don't have them "on show" in the house any more, the case was just used as another surface to put stuff on and the cars weren't seen.

I have a Bburago one in my collection. Nothing fits properly and it falls to bits. Then again, what could you expect when the box says "Made In Italy"? This Kyosho one looks good, will be pricey though...
