Model Kit Ferrari 250 GTO ch.3455 #112 2nd 1964 Targa Florio in 1:24 scale
This is the Model Kit Ferrari 250GTO ch.3455 #112 2nd 1964 Targa Florio in 1:24 scale by Bburago.
The Ferrari 250 GTO chassis 3445GT, painted in striking Swedish blue with a bold yellow stripe and sporting #112, was driven by Ulf Norinder and Picko Troberg to second in class (and ninth overall) at the legendary 1964 Targa Florio on Sicily’s twisting mountain roads. Norinder, a seasoned privateer and former Formula Junior front‑runner, and Troberg, his co-driver, navigated the grueling 10‑lap endurance race across narrow public roads, where mechanical resilience and local knowledge trumped outright speed—especially given Ferrari’s factory boycott that year. Their gritty result stood out amid the privateer field, showcasing how skill and reliability could shine in one of motorsport’s most demanding and iconic road races.
Bburago 1:24 scale model car kits are popular among collectors and hobbyists for their balanced mix of detail, affordability, and hands-on assembly. Designed to be user-friendly, these kits typically include pre-painted body shells, detailed interiors, and small parts like wheels and mirrors that snap or screw into place—making them accessible even to beginners. The 1:24 scale (roughly 7–8 inches long) allows for impressive realism in replicating everything from Ferrari supercars to classic Lamborghinis and modern Formula 1 machines, often featuring opening doors and steerable front wheels. Unlike fully built die-casts, these kits offer enthusiasts the satisfaction of constructing and personalizing their own miniature automotive masterpiece, all while showcasing the solid craftsmanship and bright, authentic liveries that Bburago is known for.
