Hesketh 308B USA 1976 #24 Ertl by Modellismo 90

All three of these kits represent Harald Ertl’s car at various points in the 1976 racing season and, as was common with private entries in those days, the livery changed more or less every race. Here we see three significantly different liveries and also quite a variety in bodywork detail on the three variants. Chronologically the US GP West came first and Ertl was driving a B specification car with large airbox and low mounted rear wing, though he failed to qualify. By Germany he had progressed to a 308D and did rather better, finishing eight in a high downforce car with extra low mounted front and rear wings and in Japan he was also eighth this time with more conventional wings on the car. All of the kits are based around a cleanly cast resin body with a selection of resin, white metal and photo-etched detail parts and clearly printed decals.
