For more than 20 years I have this red 250 GTO from Box, in which I made minor interventions. A couple of years ago I got the same model in a grey metallic version (1,2).
I always found remarkable that a GT wold come in 2ยบ place in 1962 Le Mans race, so it was time to recriate this fantastic car.
Box's model is excellent, but quality control often failed in many of these models by that time. We can see it in image 1, and the one I've worked was even worse. So I had to spend some time improving the metal surfaces, and adding those things behind the rear wheels (3).
Front lights and wire wheels from Remember helped a lot to the final result (3,4). Interior is pretty good, I just had to add a big rev counter in the dash, new gear lever and doors inner structures (8), that are quite visible in the real car.
I dont feel modest about this one, it came pretty nice.
