ICMF Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 It's almost certainly going to be a 1/12 Lancia D50 New pics show that it's a single seater: With closed rear wheels: Which doesn't leave a lot of options. And since MFH have already done the D50 in 1/20 and 1/43, it's a really obvious candidate. Now that an engine pic is posted: There's basically zero doubt. All we need is the official confirmation, versions and price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICMF Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 ...and it's official. Oh, and since this is Britmodeller, its worth noting that British driver Peter Collins won the French and Belgian Grands Prix in this car, if anyone's debating which version to buy. Kit Details – a full detailed, multi-material kit featuring white metal, resin, etching, metal plated parts, rubber tires, decals and various cords allowing for maximum representation of the original vehicle. - aluminum plated parts used for wheel rim, engine funnel, muffler ends, wheel shaft and lock nut. - front/rear cowl and bonnet can be removed, allowing full view of the detailed interior after completion. - pre-printed sponsor logos featured on tires. Wire wheel built up from a combination of metal spokes and nipples along with plated wheel rim for closest representation of the original wheel. - 4 variations avaliable: the short nose from Monaco GP, the long nose from German GP, the streamliner from France GP, and the version that raced in the final Italy GP.

Admiral Puff Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Yummo! Can't see any indication of price, though - no doubt it will involve several arms, several legs and numerous other portions of the anatomy ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
