Ferrari 312B3-73 1973 Watkins Glen GP Arturo Merzario Car #4 With Driver Limited Edition in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari 312B3-73 1973 Watkins Glen GP Arturo Merzario Car #4 With Driver Limited Edition in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
In the 1973 United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, the Ferrari 312B3-73 car #4, driven by Arturo Merzario, exemplified both technical ambition and a season of struggle for Ferrari. The 312B3-73 marked a departure with its new, slimmer monocoque chassis and integrated Flat-12 engine—moves designed to make the car lighter and more rigid. Merzario, known for his grit and consistency, piloted the machine through a challenging field, though the car never matched the pace of the dominant front-running teams. What set this race—and season—apart was Ferrari’s experimental direction in engineering, coupled with Watkins Glen’s fast, flowing layout that demanded high-speed stability—attributes Ferrari attempted to address with the B3-73, albeit with limited success in results.
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.
