Shame Tamiya hasn't done it in 1/24. I like the better potential for detail. But 1/20 fills the display case way too fast. I already have LOTS of cars not on display due to lack of room.
I DO have a Fiat 131 Abarth in 1/24. It's a Hotwheels in 1/24. In the early 80s Mattel (who I worked for at the time) partnered up with Bburago to do a number of diecast cars, I have a set of 1/24 scale F1 cars. I was in Manufacturing Engineering, then Product Safety. Hot Wheels were my responsibility in both departments and I had several such cars in my office, along with lots of the little Hot Wheels. Obviously, the Hot Wheels/Bburago cars aren't up to the quality and detail of the Tamiya model kits.

Italeri offers a 1/24th version based on the old ESCI molds with a better grade of plastic now....I wish to get the Tamiya 1/20th version too.
