Osella PA20S Italian Championship
2000 - Irlando
|
£111.55
|
|
A
well finished resin hand-built model of - we think - the car that
won the Italian Sportscar championship last year. The body is very
well painted in red with a silver cockpit cowl and the decals and
small details are neatly applied. The only flaw on our review sample
was a slight rippling of the metal foil covering the rear wing - that
is unusual for Tron and we expect that it is an isolated problem.
There's a colour shot of this model elsewhere in this edition.

Ferrari 246 Sebring 1959 #5
Phil Hill Built
|
£112.50
|
|
| A superbly
finished model of the front -engined Dino of Phil Hill from the US
Grand Prix. The car was entered in the blue and white American colours
and ran an experimental engine, different to the other team cars.
Unfortunately Hill was forced to retire early in the race due to clutch
failure. There are slight creases in the white nose decal where it
wraps around the radiator opening but this is lacquered in and is
not obvious at first glance and doesn't detract from the overall desirability
of the model. |

Ferrari 126CK Canada 1981 Villeneuve
|
£124.80
|
|
| A valiant effort by Tron to model the
somewhat redesigned cars of Villeneuve hasn't quite worked. The problem
is that while they have modelled the bent wings and flat tyres with
great imagination the paint finishes are absolutely superb and the
cars just look too clean!! Compare the Silverstone race shot alongside
with the model photo elsewhere in this issue to see what we mean. |

CLU057b
|
Ferrari 312B2 Monaco 1972 -
#7 Regazzoni
|
£124.80
|
|
| Both of these hand-built models appear to be accurate of line and are fairly well finished. The Regazzoni car -#7 - checks out well against race photos and appears accurate but the decal placement on the Ickx car - #6 - is in places casual and in others plain wrong! On our review sample the Heuer logo on the nose is crooked and the decals for the suppliers such as Koni, Britax etc are in the same order as the Regazzoni car when they shouldn't be. Hopefully this will be rectified on later models as otherwise they are fine. Stop Press - Tron are taking our sample back and correcting their production versions of this model. |
