Ferrari 712 4th Watkins Glen 1971 #50 Andretti by Marsh Models
Ferrari 712 4th Watkins Glen 1971 Andretti
Hand built available MM261M
Based on a spaceframe chassis previously run under 512S and 512M bodywork, Ferrari’s Can-Am machine with 7-litre engine made only one appearance in 1971. The engine produced good power and this helped Andretti to fourth overall at Watkins Glen despite less than ideal handling. The car featured numerous aerodynamic fences and small spoilers and these are included among many etched parts in the kit, some to be fitted before the main paint finish and some better painted first. There are sharp recesses for these in the cleanly cast body and overall assembly looks fairly straightforward. The decals are clearly printed and include the aluminium lower side panels.
