Ferrari 312PB 2nd Nurburgring 1973 #2 by Marsh Models
Alternative version MM282MZ2 Zeltweg MM282M11 Watkins Glen & MM282 Kit
Chassis 0890 was significantly modified for the last three races of the 1973 European season and we see those variants here. The nose was re-profiled but the significant changes were at the rear with a new rear deck that had a low centre section to direct air more efficiently through a modified rear wing, the oil cooler relocated to the right-hand side of the car necessitating a large intake in the sill and a tall airbox. These physical details are all carefully replicated and the race specific changes are also well observed, including a rather haphazard placement of the race number on one side of the Zeltweg version, presumably a result of repaired damage. The general level of finish is as we expect from Marsh and overall they make for attractive models, bringing to a close the numerous race versions of the PB in this range.
