Ferrari 625

Temos hoje mais um kit dos anos 50, Ferrari 625 que competiu em 1954 e 1955. O carro era derivado do 500 de 1952-53, foi pilotado pelo argentino José Froilan "El Cabezon" Gonzalez, Mike Hawthorn e Maurice Trintignant. O carro não era tão competitivo mas venceu duas corridas, em 1954 na Inglaterra com Gonzalez e no ano seguinte em Monte Carlo com Trintignant. Kit Revival, escala 1/20.
After two years of F2 regulations the 1954 world championship was raced under F1 regulations again. The new regulations allowed for 2.5 litre naturally aspirated and 750 cc supercharged engined racers. Ferrari modified their 1952 and 1953 world championship winning 500 F2 by boring and stroking the four cylinder engine. Enter the Ferrari 625 F1. Maserati campaigned their six cylinder 250F from the beginning of the season. Halfway through the season Ferrari and Maserati were joined by the straight-eight cylinder engined Mercedes-Benz W196 and the Vittorio Jano designed Lancia D50 V8. Juan Manuel Fangio started the season at Maserati but halfway the season he teamed up with Stirling Moss at Mercedes-Benz. Ferrari's two primary drivers were Froilan Gonzalez and Mike Hawthorn. Both drivers won a GP each, but they were not able to keep with Fangio. In the driver's championship the first three places behind Fangio were filled by Ferrari drivers.For the 1955 season the four cylinder car was further modified but it was no longer competitive. Revival kit, 1/20th scale.

Brabham BT52B

O Brabham BT52 foi projetado por Gordon Murray para a temporada 1983 da Fórmula 1, pilotado por Nelson Piquet levou o piloto brasileiro ao seu segundo título mundial. O carro parecia uma flecha, para compensar a proibição do "efeito solo" foram retiradas as caixas laterais que antes sugavam o carro contra o solo e agora com o fundo plano acabavam por suspende-lo como uma asa de avião. O monocoque era feito de alumínio e fibra de carbono e o motor BMW 1500cc turbo produzia brutais 1300 hp nas versões de treino e 700 hp para corridas. O kit é um short run produzido por um amigo, escala 1/20 como sempre.
The Brabham BT52 was a Formula 1 car designed for the Brabham team by South African Gordon Murray for the 1983 F1 season. After the ground effect cars were banned at the end of the previous season, the FIA mandated that all F1 cars be designed with flat undersides for safety reasons. The previously crucial sidepods were now generating lift rather than suction and so the BT52 had short, angular sidepods to keep lift at a minimum. The car featured a distinctive dart-shaped profile and oversized rear wing in an effort to claw back as much downforce as possible. The monocoque was built from aluminium and carbon fibre composite to keep weight as low as possible. The car was powered by the massively powerful BMW M12/13 turbocharged engine which produced about 1,300 bhp (970 kW) in qualifying trim, detuned to around 700 bhp (520 kW) for the races proper. The 1983 season saw refuelling stops reintroduced into F1 after successful experiments in 1982. The BT52's fuel system was designed with this in mind, and had a small fuel tank positioned high up behind the driver. The car was easy to drive and Nelson Piquet used it to good effect that season. Fighting with Alain Prost in the Renault and René Arnoux of Ferrari, it seemed he would lose out on the title after a run of mid season bad luck. But after fuel supplier Castrol developed a special batch of fuel and further development to the car was done, he became the first driver to win the world championship with a turbo engine after winning three races and scoring consistently. Brabham finished third in the constructors' championship. Here is the BT52B version, used in the second part of the Championship. Short run home made Brazilian kit, 1/20th scale.

Minardi PS 05

Ferrari 156

Ferrari 156 sharknose, carro usado por Phill Hill e Wolfgang Von Trips em 1961, usava motor 1.5 litros, 6 cilindros a 120°, potência de 190hp. Com este modelo Hill ganhou o título daquele ano. Com algumas mudanças o carro continou a ser usado até 1964. Kit Revival, escala 1/20.
The 156 was made by Ferrari in 1961 to comply with then-new F1 regulations that lowered engine displacement from 2.5 to 1.5 litres, similar to the pre-1961 F2 class for which Ferrari had developed a mid-engined car also called 156. It used the V6 "Dino" engine named after Enzo Ferrari's late son.
The new engine was a revised F2 engine with the V-angle increased from 65 to 120 degrees, this increased the power by 10 hp. Bore and stoke were 73.0 x 58.8 mm with a displacement of 1,476.60 cc and a claimed 190 hp at 9,500 rpm. For 1962 a 24-valve version was planned with 200 hp at 10,000 rpm, but never appeared. In 1963 the 12-valve version fitted with Bosch direct-fuel injection instead of carburetors achieved that power level.
A V-6 engine with 120 degree bank is smoother at producing power due to the fact of every 120 degree rotation of engine crankshaft produces a power pulse.
It is one of the most iconic racecar shapes and one of the most distinctive of all Ferraris. Phil Hill won the 1961 World Championship of Drivers and Ferrari secured the 1961 International Cup for F1 Manufacturers, both victories achieved with the 156.The last victory for the Ferrari 156 was by Italian Lorenzo Bandini in the 1964 Austrian Grand Prix.
The 1961 version was affectionately dubbed "sharknose" due to its characteristic air intake "nostrils". Kit Revival, 1/20th scale.
