Fleischmann Ferrari F1 - question

Swissracer · Apr 5, 2008

Hi vintage gurus

I wondered if anyone can enlighten me as to whether this F1 Ferrari from Fleischmann is based on a specific car or is a generic design and labelled 'Ferrari'
Not having much knowledge of early F1 machines I have no clue and can not seem to find out by surfing.

Thanks in advance.

I always thoughtthem to be "fiction" looking at the body. only differences are the engines, winglets, placement of the mirrors and the end of the body. fleischmann never did put a special number/type on the box

I think it is loosely based upon the 1512 that was a short-lived follow through from the 158. The 1512 was basically a 158 with the 12 cylinder motor installed. The exhausts are fantasy.

It is a fair, not perfect representation of a 1966 Ferrari 312. The paint job is of course not correct and the scale is a mix of 1/32 and 1/24.

As Niels says, it fairly like a 1966 Ferrari 312
The distinctive outlets on top of the nose are missing.
Have a look at these plans

Thanks guys

FZSsemans - the two you have with wings are the Fleischmann Maserati. Also a hard to find car in good condition. I also have no idea if they are close to an existing car or fantasy.

I always thought they were Coopers, until I saw on your linky to a dutch site that it were Maseratis. mine are not mint, they miss rearwings but, the 4 were bought for 100 euro (all together)...........so I wont complain to much.

nb, here in the netherlands the do come around on " www.marktplaats.nl " Minty minty ones are too expensive for me.

I think it's a Cooper Maserati actually... Mine's missing the wing too, seems that just about all of them are missing the wing!

Did the Ferrari come with a wing?

no, looking at the linky from swissracer, there is a part: new cars: and both ferraris the red and the blue are wingless.

I think, the car is not invented, is clearlly a Ferrari 246
