Ferrari 512 S 5.0L V12 #15 1970 24h Le Mans in 1:43 scale
This is the Ferrari 512 S 5.0L V12 #15 1970 24h Le Mans in 1:43 scale by Looksmart.
At the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ferrari 512 S 5.0 L V12 #15 entered by Scuderia Filipinetti was driven by seasoned competitors Mike Parkes (GB) and Herbert Müller (CH), campaigning one of Ferrari’s powerful long-tail sports prototypes in a bid to challenge the dominant Porsche 917s. Parkes, a former Ferrari works driver known for his speed in both Formula 1 and sports cars, paired with Müller, a skilled Swiss sports-car racer, to tackle the punishing 24-hour marathon around the Circuit de la Sarthe — a circuit known for its legendary mix of high-speed straights and demanding corners. Unfortunately, the #15 car was eliminated following a collision at Maison Blanche in the early evening, highlighting how the brutal combination of heavy rain, close competition, and attrition that defined the 1970 Le Mans made finishing the race almost as significant as outright speed.
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
