Ferrari 488 GTB
I was just curious if anyone had knowledge of the big three making this kit? I figure fujimi would be the best bet but Tamiya quality would be stellar for such a beautiful car.

Re: Ferrari 488 GTB
Sorry for being so late to this.
I was wondering the same thing the past years for just about every new model. Then I came across Alpha Model (division of Hobby Design) that made a few resin curbside models in 2018 in 1/24 and 1/18 I think. While it's not a GTB I still hope they'll make that one too. AM02-0003 488 GTS AM02-0004 458 Speciale Aparta They sell via Facebook group. I bought them for US$ 120 a piece so not cheap and might not be what you were looking for. Hope it helps ! I REALLY hope Fujimi or Tamiya will make their versions.

Re: Ferrari 488 GTB
Tamiya is discontinuing all Ferrari kits this spring, so the 488 is very unlikely. I’m guessing they will renew the license when the next kit-worthy Ferrari comes out, maybe?
Rastar released a descent-looking 1/24 R/C, and Bburago has 1/24 diecast, so those can be combined into a nice static scale model. At least that's my *plan.* |

Not sure if they know something that no other shop knows so far, but here is also a GTB for sale (backordered however). It's the only Alpha Models 488 GTB version I could find on the net. https://absolutmodels.myshopify.com/...errari-488-gtb

The GTB might come later but did not get a sure Yes or a month of release. [They respond fairly fast on the page and chat there] Sorry, and also a little dissepointed but it's better than a No

Re: Ferrari 488 GTB
"Discontinue" doesn't mean a permanent halt of Ferrari kit production. Tamiya did clarify that.
Hasegawa hasn't renewed their Ferrari license for a while, so I guess it's a similar move. I'm still gathering more info, especially Fujimi and Revell to see if Tamiya's decision is due to some kind of industry-wide change of Ferrari kit licensing, or just a marketing strategy of Tamiya. Last batch (at least for now) of Tamiya Ferrari kits should be out this June. |

Does anybody here have information on what Maisto will produce?
Netherlands homepage Toms.nl offers a preorder on a 488 GTB plastic model kit in 1/24 scale by Maisto. There's also a kit for a La Ferrari Aperta in 1/24. If Maisto starts to produce plastic kits, this could be the reason why Bburago didn't give any licence to Revell or other Malers. Gesendet von meinem C6603 mit Tapatalk |

Re: Ferrari 488 GTB
Just to give the chance to all the other builders here !
I just gave Alpha Models / HD my pre-order for their 488 GTB via messenger chat / facebook group. They listed that it costs US$ 150. Good luck
