Bonus Photos! Tamiya 1:12 Ferrari 288 GTO

Bonus Photos! Tamiya 1:12 Ferrari 288 GTO

When space becomes the final frontier – which it always does at deadline time – we have to pick the photos we’ll be using in print. It’s never easy, and it always means that a bunch of snaps get left on our virtual cutting room floor.

That’s a shame, because the photos are already-processed, nicely shot (if we do say so ourselves) detail images, and we hate to see them go to waste, just because they never made it to the pages of DCX.

So, every so often, we’ll be posting some of those unseen photos for you all to check out. This time around, our cameras were on Tamiya’s excellent “semi-assembled” 1:12 Ferrari 288 GTO – a model that our own Marshall Buck reviewed in the Winter 2012 issue of Die Cast X (on sale now). With every bit of the model flawlessly finished, and most of the add-on assemblies like the seats and deck lid snicking onto the car via clever, high-powered magnets, Marshall liked what he saw – and so did we. The big Ferrari is a well-engineered work of art that comes out of its box fully painted, and offers hands-on enjoyment (and a little exploration) for the collector before it goes on display.

Read all about it in the latest issue of Die Cast X – but in the meantime, enjoy the photos!
