Grand Prix Legend Revived in Exceptional Detail

These Italian made 1:20 scale Ferrari 246 Dino model kits are faithful to the original cars in almost every aspect, and truly of a quality that one rarely sees today. The main body panels, of die-cast metal, are pre-painted with tough oven-baked enamels, engine covers can be removed for inspection, and the miniaturised wheels even have original pattern tyre treads!

Most of the assembly is by means of screws (rather than glue); you will need patience but the result will be superb. 

Brief History: This 1958 car was both the first V6-engined ( France '58), and the last front-engined ( Italy '60), car to win a Grand Prix. The 2417cc carburetor-fed 65deg V6 gave 280hp at 8,500rpm and had different ratio gearboxes optimised for each track. Aluminium bodywork kept the weight down to 560kg.

Complete models are 7-8" long.
