Maserati 250F Italy 1958 #40 Gerini by Jade Miniatures
Alternative version JAD43127M28 Morocco & JAD43127 kit
In 1958 Scuderia Centro Sud had their 250F modified with a unique high tail and Gerino Gerini was entrusted with driving it. On the first outing at Monza he qualified at the back of the field and his race was over after three laps with engine failure! As the car was rather different there are plenty of photos available and Jade’s model, while not perfect, does a fair job of capturing the unique shape. The placement of the decals is spot on and the finish has been thought about carefully with a subtle wash applied to highlight panel lines and dull the paint down to a realistic level of shine. A very attractive miniature.

About Jade Miniatures
A well established range of well thought out kits and hand built models of competition cars, mostly from the golden era of the 1950s and 60s. The kits are generally pretty simple with well cast resin bodies, small numbers of resin and white metal ancillaries and a modest amount of etch. In the case of open wheeled subjects, the etch usually includes most or all of the suspension. Hand builts generally well finished. Made in France.
