    Come on guys, we know some here have already received theirs. Post some pictures. We wanna hear reviews. In their advertising GMP claims "unprecedented detail in 1:18" Is it really better than BBR, Exoto and CMC ?
    I think I'm getting one for my b-day and this is the only reason I haven't ordered it yet. Don't keep us in the dark

    Yeah I have seen this before. It is a hyped up pre-presentation of a pre-production model. I want someone who has 100 other models of Ferraris in his house to post pictures and comments wile having the thing in his hands.

    Looks great, hows the quality of the materials used? Overall assembly quality? if you would compare it to CMC, or BBR, how does it compares?

    That was my initial request.
    Is it just me or the panel fit/shut lines are really NOT on par with CMC, BBR?
    Also as somebody said, the front seems a little high. Anyway, don't get me wrong guys I think it is fantastic.
    Now only if they would produce Jim's P4/5 to make it company and they would be my new favorite model maker.

    My card just got charged so maybe I'll get mine real soon. I have other GMPs, a Lola, and a McClaren. They make good stuff.

    Saw it while I was out at Barrett Jackson this year, and all i can say is WOW! It looks great, and the attention to detail is incredible.

    I don't own any CMC's or BBR's to compare it to. All that I can say is that the details are of the highest quality that I've ever seen.

    The GMP rep at the Petit Le Mans implied that they will likely do a berlinetta version as well, but that didn't seem to be cast in stone just yet.

    I get the impression that a 3-car set of the '67 Daytona finish might happen if this first version sells well enough. That might be a tall order, since technically, those 3 cars were all different: one was a "true" P4, one was a P3/4, and the other was a 412 P!
