Based on the Le Phoenix kit, I will build the 1984 Ferrari 288 GTO. In fact is a rebuild from old model I have from many years.
I hope you like it, please ask if have any doubts.
This is available, please contact Mike if interested.

Thank you, Ricardo

It is like the real 288GTO was sent to Ferrari Classique for restoration. The new taillights are a big improvement and the open vents are a nice touch.
