    Hi all,
    This is only an expression of interest at this stage.
    I have had a discussion with APM (autoplacemodel.com) who make some very nice Ferrari/Lambo/McLaren sealed resin models based in HK - to comission a 1/18 288 GTO or GTO Evoluzione built model.
    Of course they would need some interests first and some guarenteed numbers before they invest in making the mould.
    The reason I have asked them to consider making a 1/18 288 GTO is because Im tired of waiting for kyosho/Exoto to make a proper scale model.
    The hotwheels elite is nice, but for me I need something a little more special, especially as the 288 is one of my favourite Ferraris.
    There is also the possibility of making the GTO Evoluzione - which would be even more special.

    So what I need is for anyone interested to let me know either on here or via PM if they would like either model.
    This will be a proper 1/18 288 GTO/Evoluzione model hand made by APM.
    APM have already made a 1/12 scale model of the 288 GTO some years ago (please see attached images).

    But it would be updated and a brand new mould. Going by their other releases, the colours available would be black, yellow, white and of course red.
    The price would be similar as with any other APM release .. i.e. not cheap, but well worth it.
    All of the finer details will need to be worked out later, all im looking for is whether I can get the numbers to go ahead with the build.
    Please note I'm not making any sort of commision out of this, I dont work for APM - I just collect their models. And if this goes ahead, those interested would be finally able to have a high end model of a 288 GTO or GTO Evoluzione.

    Cheers.

    I'd like a kit of the gto evoluzione to build myself - otherwise the ready built one will be out of my price range!

    Wrong scale for me. I'd take it in a 1/24 though.

    I don't know...I'm all for a great 1:18 288 GTO and GTO Evoluzione, but I'm not sure if I would go for APM. I have their F40 LM transkit which is nice, but I'm a bit disappointed with their Koenig BB and Testarossas. The overall shape is not as good as it should be for that kind of money and the 1:12 GTO looks not promissing.

    Hi everybody, I would be interested in the evolutione 288 gto if possible in kit but I heard that APM doesn't sell kits anymore just built models, did you also here about that?
