Ferrari 512 S Filippinetti Car #15 Le Mans 1970 Driver: Parkes - Muller in 1:12 scale
This is the Ferrari 512 S Filippinetti Car #15 Le Mans 1970 Driver: Parkes - Muller in 1:12 scale by Tecnomodel.
The Ferrari 512 S (#15), entered by the Filippinetti team at the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, was driven by the talented British driver Mike Parkes and the experienced Swiss racer Jochen Müller. Parkes, a skilled Formula 1 driver with a strong background in endurance racing, and Müller, known for his consistent and precise driving, made a formidable pair in this fiercely competitive race. The 1970 Le Mans was notable for its intense battle between Ferrari, Porsche, and the emerging dominance of the Ford and Porsche teams, with the 512 S being one of Ferrari's premier entries. While the Ferrari 512 S displayed exceptional speed and handling with its V12 engine, it was ultimately plagued by mechanical issues during the race, preventing a top finish. Nevertheless, this event stood out as one of the most competitive and dramatic editions of Le Mans, with the 512 S showcasing Ferrari's engineering brilliance in a race marked by high-speed duels and strategic intricacies.
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.
