We have two Ferraris at the top this edition. On the left is BBR's
kit (BBP310) of the NGT 550 Maranello from Le Mans 2003, while on
the right is Tameo's recent superkit (TMK335) of the 312T3 from
the 1978 Canadian GP.
The Bentley pit-stop scene below the T3 is by Le Mans Miniatures
and was spotted at Retromobile. The 1:24th diorama shows what can
be achieved with their 2003 Bentley kit (LMM40711), mechanics set
(LMMCOFTB022401) and a few accessories. The bright red and green
machine alongside is also in 1:24th and is the Fiat X1/9 Abarth
as raced on the Giro d'Italia and offered as a kit (IVP24013) from
Model Factory IV.

Below
the Fiat is the Cooper driven by Roy Salvadori at the Nurburgring
in 1958 and modelled by Midlantic as either a kit (MID055) or hand
built (MID055M). For a little variety, how about the fastest diesel
truck in the World? It's called Phoenix, does 263mph and is offered
as a hand built (FAD018) by Ugo Fadini. What a machine!
Believe it or not the striking design study beneath Phoenix is also
diesel-powered! It's the Jaguar RD06 and is available as a kit (PM2876)
from Provence Moulage. A hand built will follow shortly in the Starter
range (ST0275M). Last but by no means least, Jade Miniatures are
continuing their Maserati 250F Piccolo story with the Joe Lubin
entered machine (JAD4311C kit, JAD4311CMS) driven by Carroll Shelby.
