This is the Ferrari 312 F1 1966 Nürburgring GP Driver: Mike Parkes in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
At the 1966 German Grand Prix held at the formidable Nürburgring Nordschleife, Mike Parkes drove the Ferrari 312 F1—a car built for the new 3.0-liter regulations. Parkes, primarily a Ferrari sports car driver and engineer, was known for his technical insight and occasional forays into Formula One. The Nürburgring, with its treacherous layout and over 170 corners, was a true test of driver skill and car durability. Although Parkes retired due to mechanical issues, his participation underscored Ferrari’s faith in his versatility. The race itself was memorable for Jack Brabham’s dominant win and the brutal challenge the circuit posed, emphasizing the immense danger and prestige of conquering the "Green Hell."
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.
