Ferrari 712 4th Road America 1972 #40 Jarier by Marsh Models
Ferrari 712 Road America 1972 Jarier
Hand built available MM280M
The 712 was built on the chassis of a factory 512M (#1010) and in the form raced by Jarier at Watkins Glen the shape of the original car is still evident in places. The 7-litre engine always made plenty of power, but handling was never great and the car was different aerodynamically on each of its few outings. Here we see fences on the front bodywork and a fairly conventional spoiler at the rear. These are etched parts in the kit, the rear wing made up of a folded main element and two-piece end-plates. A little fiddly perhaps, but the end result is very convincing. Also clever is the etch for the rear suspension tucked away under the rear. At first glance on the very well finished hand built model it appears that there are machined shock absorbers and springs in there but these are actually fine etch!
