Ferrari 500 1952






Em 1952 a temporada de Fórmula 1 foi disputada com carros de Fórmula 2 e a equipe Ferrari foi dominante com o modelo 500, projetado por Aurelio Lampredi. O italiano Alberto Ascari venceu seis das nove corridas para levantar a taça de campeão. Pilotaram também para a Ferrari naquele ano os pilotos Giuseppe Farina, Luigi Villoresi, Piero Taruffi e Andre Simon. O kit é Revival, escala 1/20 como de costume.
For 1952, the FIA announced that Grand Prix races counting towards the World Championship of Drivers would be run to Formula 2 specification rather than to Formula 1, after the withdrawal of Alfa Romeo from the sport. Ferrari were the only team to have a car specifically designed for the new formula. The car was powered by a in line four cylinder engine which was mounted behind the front axle, improving weight distribution. Alberto Ascari used the car to win six races and his first world championship. The kit is Revival, 1/20th scale as usual.
