But this one is on my 1/32 list for the year. Alan

Cool car though..just a little late for me. Thanks for the news though John! Appreciate that. "They Didn't Say You Couldn't" - Smokey Yunick

Yuck!) and from what I heard terrible runners. Also the Flys were over scale (~1/30). Scalextric produces solid cars so, yeah, I'm getting everyone they offer. 250 GTOs are the most beautiful cars evah!!!

Yuck!) and from what I heard terrible runners. The Fly Ferrari 250-GTO is a front motored car, however this is an extremely good running model, The 250 GTO is one of the best running Fly's out of the box in my experience. Scalextric's Ferrari 250-GTO is purported to be a front motored model as well. I suspect that this configuration is the only way they could fit a full interior in this model and still use a 1/32 scale motor to power it. I think this model will run about as well as the L-88 Corvettes and the Viper GTS's also front motored by Scaley. these two are good runners though not great. It dosen't really matter to me if this model is a great racer or not because I am a committed Ferrari fanatic. A couple of these beauties will be coming to join my fleet soon after they are available in the USA. Thanks for the photo John. Live Long & Prosper, David.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Yeah, the funny thing is unlike a lot of others who have multiple Ferrari 250s (especially the Flys), I've only got one. And that's the recently released Mono-Rev vintage kit. I'll probably pick this one up. Great looking car.

I had one of the Fly 250s but traded it away. Fly makes great looking models but the higher prices stop me from doing any running mods. Alan Last Edited By: Asmith 04/04/09 07:24 AM. Edited 1 times.
