Default FG GT die cast?
Not sure where to post this, but has anyone come across a die cast model of the FG GT? I've seen the BA ones but can't find the FG, 315 or 335...

Nope! Not yet. I hope they do one day, but unlikely.

Will that be for the people that buy a GT-F? That is, a special run of 550 only? Or will this be for as many as they can sell?

there's always the option of grabbing a cheaper (slow selling) V8SC 1:72, 1:43 or 1:18 and giving it a factory paint job... e.g. Pink Vodaphone FG

This is what I am considering, but how to deal with the massive front splitter and batwing on the boot...
