Giotto Bizzarrini was an Italian who worked for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Iso, and Alfa Romeo.
His most famous design was the Ferrari 250 GTO and his personal car 250 GT known as the Bizzarrini Ugly Duck was the test bed for his work.
Pictured is the HW 100% and Kyosho 250 GT0. Proof that HW can make as good as diecast as anyone when they choose to.

Bizzarrini later went to work for Iso Rivolta and in partnership with Giorgetto Giugiaro designed the beautiful Iso Grifo. Originally powered by a 327 Corvette engine in later years the car was available with a 351C from Ford and 427/454 Chevy Big blocks.

Pictured is the blue Lesney MB Iso Grifo GL.
In 1966, Bizzarrini released a street legal version of the Grifo called the 5300GT Strada.
The white 5300GT is from Guisval of Spain. Much of their early products were MB knock-offs.

Kind of interesting to look at the 3 different cars and see the progression of design
