Description

This is an injection-plastic passenger car kit.

Developed to contend with new race rules in 1958 limiting engine size to three liters, the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa featured a water-cooled 2953cc V-12 engine producing 300 horsepower. The new Testa Rossa (Italian for "redhead") won the 1958 24 Hour of Le Mans race for the first time in five years for Ferrari, and also won the Sports Car World Championship for them for a third year in a row.

We've seen quite a few modern Ferrari kits released over the last few years, but it has been a very long time since a classic Ferrari has been kitted in injection plastic. Fully licensed by Ferrari and featuring complete engine detail with removable hood, stunning one-piece chrome-plated wire wheels, and accurate shapes and proportions all around, this 1958 version of the Testa Rossa is an excellent job by Hasegawa. The body is molded in white, with the interior, chassis, suspension, and engine components molded in black. Decals are provided for dashboard gauges, seat belts, exterior emblems, and a variety of racing numbers, although no specific instructions are given for their use. A magnificent kit of a fantastic classic Ferrari!
