Ferrari 712 Can Am Watkins Glen 1971 #50 Team SEFAC M. Andretti in 1:43 scale
This is the Ferrari 712 Can Am Watkins Glen 1971 #50 Team SEFAC M. Andretti in 1:43 scale by Tecnomodel.
The Ferrari 712 Can-Am #50, entered by SEFAC Ferrari and driven by Mario Andretti, competed at 1971 Can-Am Watkins Glen race during Ferrari’s rare foray into the Canadian-American Challenge Cup. Andretti, already a versatile and world-class driver who would later become the 1978 Formula One World Champion, was known for his ability to adapt across disciplines—from IndyCar to endurance racing and F1. The Ferrari 712 Can-Am stood out dramatically from its rivals thanks to its massive 7.0-liter flat-12 engine, producing immense power but also making the car heavier and more complex than the dominant McLarens of the era. Unlike most Can-Am competitors, Ferrari’s approach emphasized high-revving engineering and European design philosophy, making the 712 both spectacular and challenging to drive. Its limited appearances and distinctive sound and performance made it one of the most unique and memorable machines in Can-Am history, even if it struggled to match the outright dominance of its competition.
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.
