New Fujimi release: 250 GTO variation

[BVC500]

Fujimi is releasing 250 GTO, 3445 GT. Any notable differences on this car, besides the livery?

Originally 3445 had a narrow radiator opening, vertical brake cooling slots and a small bolt on spoiler. I have no idea if Fujimi will make the tooling changes though I sure hope they do. The general look should be the same as 3505 below.

The photograph of the car shows a wider grille opening. I doubt they'll do any tooling changes, especially if the car is currently restored to generally the same look as the current kit. I have to dig through my photos, the car was at Amelia Island and either myself and/or Veyron took photos of it.

The car didn't have the narrow grille here in 2004:

GTO 3445 at Laguna Seca

But when I shot it this year it's been reconfigured with the narrower grille and vertical cooling slots:


I'll bet Fujimi leaves it alone so you can build it as it was before the latest update to the car.

I doubt Fujimi will change it. I shot the car at Laguna Seca back in 2004.
I have to say, after comparing the Fujimi body to the Climax/Hiro and the other 1/24th 62 GTO kits they did theirs the best. That is a big suprise
since they really messed up the 917K(front track is way to wide). The only problem I could see on the Fujimi GTO is the upper rear end inside the "ducktail".

Best,

So they are finally starting to use those molds to the max.
I suppose the only difference will be the decals for this blue & yellow livery.

yes jano...they finally started the 'one car many versions' thing again.

let's hope they really go into every detail of the real serialized GTO rather than just add a new sheet of decal & call it NEW.
