Maybe a Ferrari 512S short tail or 512M to go with the 512S long tail they made awhile back?

Or a late 60's early 70's Alfa prototype that they made a bunch of in 1/24 many years ago?

They have done the 1962-63 250GTO GT winner, the 1964 Ferrari 64 GTO GT winner and the Ford Cobra 1965 GT winner. Could this be finally the 1965 GT lemans winner, Ferrari 275 GTB/C #6885. The tires look right for it. Mid 1960's sportscar or F1 car tires.

I think what’s shown is a Dunlop on the left and a Goodyear tire on the right. I think they’re doing the Ferrari 250LM’s that ran at the 1965 LeMans.

That would be a re issue as they already did those cars a long time ago.

They look like the same tread pattern to me. I assumed it was a narrower front on the left, and a wider rear (in shadow) on the right. The shade of red feels more "Alfa" (particularly with the white) to me, but that's purely speculation.

Oh, and I assume it'll be a racing car; I meant GT as in, GT, sports proto, Le Mans, sports car, etc., as opposed to an F1 car.

A T33 would be great. I always liked the 1967 T33/2 periscope , so I made a kit of it. I even made the long tail Lemans 1967 test version in 1/24th scale.

Hm, based on the colours and the grooves I had though Honda RA300, but those rears only have 7 groups and it's showing 8 here. With the 512S I'm counting 9 grooves. The RA273 has 8 grooves. But that has been done by Tamiya aeons ago, so maybe not.
Cheers,

MFH already released the RA300 a year ago now! Did you forget??
