1962 Ferrari 250 GTO #20 Le Mans – Kyosho 1:18: Scale, Subject & Display Guide

This page is devoted to 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO #20 Le Mans – Kyosho 1:18, the exact scale model cars sold under the Kyosho record. The goal is practical identification: what the listing confirms, what remains unverified, and what a buyer or builder should compare before using the item.

Matching the exact listing

• Exact product: 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO #20 Le Mans – Kyosho 1:18
• Brand or vendor: Kyosho
• Product type: Scale Model Cars
• SKU or catalog key: F977-KS08438E
• Scale stated in the record: 1:18
• Year appearing in the identity: 1962
• Road or release number: 20
• Variants reviewed: 1
• Product images indexed: 3

The recorded price at verification was $441.08 before shipping and tax. At least one variant was orderable when the record was checked.

A correct match requires more than recognizing the brand. The scale marker 1:18 is part of the exact identity and should be matched before purchase. The year 1962 belongs to the listing identity; it should not automatically be treated as the manufacturing date of the item. The number 20 separates this release from visually similar versions. The SKU F977-KS08438E provides the most efficient cross-check when another listing uses slightly different punctuation or wording.

Confirmed facts versus assumptions

The source description says: “Ferrari 250 GTO #20 driven by Innes Ireland and Masten Gregory at the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans, by Kyosho. This 1:18 scale diecast race car is intended for collector display. Review the listing photos for the exact race livery, wheels, interior and packaging. Item: KS08438E.” This is useful evidence, but it is not expanded beyond what the listing supports. Missing dimensions, materials, compatibility claims or package contents remain open questions.

What matters for this kind of product

Collectors should read 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO #20 Le Mans – Kyosho 1:18 as a combination of casting, finish, release details and presentation. The useful comparison is not “same brand” but “same exact configuration.” Check the images for tampo placement, paint edges, wheel style, glass, base, stance and any included packaging before using another listing as a reference.

The SKU F977-KS08438E is especially important when the title contains a real-car year or model name. That year can describe the subject rather than the miniature’s release date, and two editions can share the same subject while differing in graphics, color or production series.

Where similar listings differ

Similar diecast products often differ in small, high-value details. Review the wheel spokes, tire profile, base color, glazing, interior, license or race markings and package code. The aim is not to assign a grade from a distance but to confirm that the delivered item matches the release purchased.

Display and handling should follow the format: loose models need nonabrasive separation, packages need edge and blister protection, and project cars need a documented baseline before disassembly.

Image-by-image verification

The photographed item is part of the specification. With 3 images indexed, a buyer can compare color, form, labels, contents and visible condition before relying on a shortened title. Save the image that best shows the identifier F977-KS08438E.

Checks to complete before ordering

1. Match the full title and F977-KS08438E.
2. Confirm the selected variant and displayed quantity.
3. Review the exact image set for the distinguishing details named above.
4. Resolve every missing fit, scale, material or compatibility point from current instructions.
5. Check live price and availability immediately before ordering.
