Ferrari 246 Monaco 1959 #46/48/50 by Jade Miniatures
The short-nose bodies fitted to a number of cars at Monaco in the late 1950s to improve cooling were far from pretty but had a certain brutal purposefulness about them and this is a great example. Jade’s kit captures the shape pretty well, particularly the profile of that cut down nose. The exposed intake stacks are a separate casting that plugs into the body from inside to simplify painting and is covered by a fine vacform. The kit offers three decal options with the cars of Jean Behra, who retired from the lead, Phil Hill who finished fourth or Tony Brooks who was second.

About Jade Miniatures
A well established range of well thought out kits and hand built models of competition cars, mostly from the golden era of the 1950s and 60s. The kits are generally pretty simple with well cast resin bodies, small numbers of resin and white metal ancillaries and a modest amount of etch. In the case of open wheeled subjects, the etch usually includes most or all of the suspension. Hand builts generally well finished. Made in France.
