Ferrari 512 S 5.0L V12 #12 1970 24h Le Mans in 1:43 scale
This is the Ferrari 512 S 5.0L V12 #12 1970 24h Le Mans in 1:43 scale by Looksmart.
The Ferrari 512 S 5.0 L V12 #12 entered by Ecurie Francorchamps and driven by Hughes de Fierlandt and Alistair Walker earned a fifth-place finish overall at the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the toughest and most prestigious endurance races in the world. The Ferrari 512 S was Ferrari’s powerful response to Porsche’s dominant 917s that year, and despite qualifying well down the order, de Fierlandt and Walker brought the car home amid high attrition and intense competition — a testament to their pace and mechanical sympathy over the 24-hour marathon. What makes this Le Mans unique was the intense duel between the mighty Porsche 917s and Ferrari 512s alongside difficult weather and mechanical challenges that saw many top contenders retire, making every classified finish a notable accomplishment. The drivers combined endurance racing expertise — de Fierlandt as a seasoned Belgian sports car racer and Walker with experience in Formula 2 and sports cars — helping to secure a strong result in one of motorsport’s most grueling tests.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case
