1950 Ferrari 166MM Berlinetta

[Terry Jessee]

This is a resin and photo etch model from an Italian firm called Automodelli. It's a curbside. Near as I can find, they're no longer producing kits. This is 1/24 scale.

The model is a Ferrari Berlinetta (coupe) as raced at LeMans in 1950. It was driven by Yvonne Simon and Michel Haig. Think it DNF'd.

Very nice model of a rare kit,Terry - looks like the Barchetta with a roof grafted on.

Wow, really well done. What did you use for the wire wheels? They are beautiful.

I love the early Ferraris

Beautiful car and model. Amazing to think this was 1950 styling. We were getting shoe box Fords!

Another gorgeous model of a significant historic race car.

Indeed. Squint and you can see hints of the 2005-2008 Chrysler Crossfire coupe.

That's a lot of squinting. Clint Eastwood level.
