Ferrari F1 Dino 156 Sharknose #4 Winner 1961 Dutch GP W. Von Trips in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari F1 Dino 156 Sharknose #4 Winner 1961 Dutch GP W. Von Trips in 1:18 scale by CMR.
In the 1961 Dutch Grand Prix, Wolfgang von Trips claimed victory driving the iconic Ferrari F1 Dino 156, famously known as the "Sharknose" due to its distinctive front air intake design. Von Trips, a skilled and determined German driver, played a crucial role in Ferrari’s success during the 1961 season, which was marked by the new 1.5-liter engine regulations that reshaped Formula 1. The Ferrari 156, with its lightweight frame and powerful Dino V6 engine, was ideally suited to these regulations, giving Ferrari a significant advantage over its competitors. The 1961 season was also historic as it led to Ferrari's first Constructors’ Championship and saw intense competition within the team as von Trips and Phil Hill vied for the Drivers' Championship. Von Trips' performance at Zandvoort showcased his talent and the dominance of the Sharknose, though the season would end tragically with his fatal crash at Monza, casting a shadow over an otherwise victorious year for Ferrari.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
