Jaguar D-Type #19 Winner 1955 12h Sebring Hawthorn/Walters in 1:18 scale
This is the Jaguar D-Type #19 Winner 1955 12h Sebring Hawthorn/Walters in 1:18 scale by CMR.
The Jaguar D-Type #19 claimed victory at the 12 Hours of Sebring with the accomplished pairing of Mike Hawthorn and Phil Walters (who often raced under the pseudonym Ted Tappett). Hawthorn, the future 1958 Formula One World Champion, was renowned for his fearless speed, while Walters was an experienced American endurance racer whose consistency was invaluable in long-distance competition. The Jaguar D-Type was revolutionary for its era, featuring a lightweight monocoque chassis inspired by aircraft construction, advanced aerodynamic bodywork developed with aviation expertise, and its distinctive vertical tail fin that improved high-speed stability. Combined with Jaguar's powerful 3.4-liter inline-six engine and disc brakes—still a relatively new technology in sports car racing—the D-Type set new standards for endurance racing and became one of the most iconic and successful sports cars of the 1950s.
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.
