Ferrari F1 156 #1 3rd 1962 Dutch Zandvoort GP Phil Hill in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari F1 156 #1 3rd 1962 Dutch Zandvoort GP Phil Hill in 1:18 scale by GP Replicas.
At the 1962 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, Phil Hill drove the Ferrari 156 “Sharknose” to a strong 3rd-place finish. Hill, the 1961 Formula One World Champion, was renowned for his smooth, calculated driving style and mechanical sympathy. This race was notable as one of the early outings for Ferrari in the 1962 season after a turbulent winter marked by the “Ferrari walkout,” which saw several key engineers leave the team. Against the backdrop of this internal upheaval, Hill’s podium showed both his resilience and the lingering competitiveness of the 156, even as newer British machinery from Lotus and BRM began to dominate the field.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
