Ferrari 166SC Chiodo MM 1950 #722 by Faenza 43
Ferrari 166SC Chiodo Mille Miglia 1950 #722
Alternative version FAE263B Sicily & FAE263C Parma
This Ferrari 166 chassis started life with a cycle-fendered body in 1948 and was re-clothed by Fontana in Barchetta style in 1949 after it had passed into the ownership of the Marzotto family. First outing for the new look car was in Sicily where Giannino Marzotto failed to finish but a couple of weeks later Vittorio Marzotto drove on the Mille Miglia, partnered by Fontana and they finished ninth. Photos from both events show that the shape looks pretty good and that the decals are accurately placed and in the correct styles. The paint finishes are excellent and the smaller details well fitted.

About Faenza 43
Charming hand-built resin models of interesting and often obscure subjects. The various Ferrari and Maserati machines which ended up in SCCA races of the late 50s and early 60s are a particular speciality, but also plenty of machines raced in Europe too. Paint finishes sometimes a little flat )or should that be more realistic!?) but otherwise very good. Made in Italy.
