Fantastic build!!!

Any other color schemes that you considered? Red might work as well.

Red, black, blue, yellow are common colors for this 39 times build legend, but only lime wheel arches are available in this realistic shape. @JamesJT GTO is very nice, even 6 double carburetors are there. On video I can see various shades of lime...

It does but the blanking panels are in place. All GTO were like this. It is is possible to blank off the vent on my model too with 6x 60483. Sadly I forgot to take a picture of this.

You're right; I saw it in my book later, but did not pay attention on models after 250 GT SWB Berlinetta, since my favourites (when we discus Ferrari cars) are Vignale bodied coupes from early 50s...but those lines are just a dream (to be made of LEGO); I can not make eve proper hood for my Fastrac
