Mike Hawthorn drove the Ferrari Dino 246 (#4) to victory at the 1958 French Grand Prix in Reims, a win that proved pivotal in his run to becoming Britain’s first Formula 1 World Champion. Known for his flamboyant style and distinctive bow tie, Hawthorn engaged in a fierce slipstreaming duel with Stirling Moss on Reims’ long straights, ultimately prevailing thanks to Ferrari’s powerful V6 and his calm under pressure. What made this race unique was the breathtaking high-speed battle in blistering summer heat, which turned into one of the era’s classic wheel-to-wheel contests—sealing Hawthorn’s legacy and underlining the Dino 246’s competitive edge.
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.
