Ferrari 512S 5.0 V12 Long Tail #11 4th 1970 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari 512S 5.0 V12 Long Tail #11 4th 1970 24h Le Mans in 1:18 scale by WERK83.
The Ferrari 512S entered by N.A.R.T. (#11) and piloted by Sam Posey and Ronnie Bucknum secured an impressive fourth-place finish at the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans—the best result among the Ferrari 512S entries that endured the grueling race. The duo navigated torrential rain and fog on the Mulsanne Straight, with Posey recalling how they cautiously increased speeds lap-by-lap until reaching full throttle in horrific night conditions. This race stood apart due to the introduction of the ultra-low-drag long-tail 5.0 L V12 Ferrari—the 512S—focused on top speed rather than downforce, which made it a courageous gamble under unpredictable weather and highlighted the drivers’ grit and mechanical resilience over outright pace.
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.
