delivered. The 1:1 is definitely on my top 10 favorite sports GT racers list. When BBR's version came out some time ago I wasn't ready to pay BBR money for a sealed 250 GTO when opening Kyosho GTOs with different liveries could be had for less.

So several years ago I did a KK-Scale repaint to have something on my shelf while waiting and hoping for some company to come out with one that was more accurate. CMC announced one first and I put in a pre-order for it but CMC-USA closed down before the model was produced. Soon afterwards Kyosho displayed two prototype versions (#15 and #20) at one of the toy shows and now the long wait is over.

These photos were taken under soft white bulbs so the color looks a little more yellow than it would if they had been taken under cool daylight bulbs. Last photo is a nose-to-nose shot with my stop-gap "incorrect in many ways" KK repaint.
