This is a racing car model kit assembled from parts made of resin, white metal, photo-etched metal and possibly other materials.
Feast your eyes on this fabulous full-detail kit from Model Factory Hiro! Adapted from their website:
The D50 first debuted in 1954 under the Lancia team. With a V8 engine used as a stressed chassis member and fuel tanks set inside the side pontons separate from the body, it sported many innovated designs for its time.
However in 1955, with increasing financial problems and having lost their ace driver A. Ascari in a crash during a testrun, Lancia had no choice but to hand off the D50 and the team’s assets/resources to Ferrari. Ferrari took the D50 and modified the body by combining the side pontons with the main body into one.
With the champion of the previous year, J.M. Fangio, joining the Ferrari team in 1956, Ferrari was able to take many victories with the D50. The D50 also managed to crown Fangio his fourth Driver’s Championship title.
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 rims, 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.
This kit is K580 Ver.A: 1956 Rd.2 Monaco GP #20 J.M.Fangio / E.Castellotti #24 L.Musso, based on the short nose version that raced in the 1956 Monaco GP.
