Ferrari 500 MD Mille Miglia 1957 #509 by Faenza 43
This four-cylinder Ferrari is clothed in a very similar Pininfarina body to the far more famous 375MM and started its career in 1954 with the works. By the spring of 1957 the car was on its fourth owner and was entered on the Mille Miglia for Alfredo Vaccari who finished fiftieth. As with the majority of Faenza releases, the paint finish is good, as is the shape and the decals are well placed.

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.
