Enzo Ferrari was not renowned for his infectious good humour but even he must have cracked a smile when three of his cars - led by the first-placed 330 P4of Lorenzo Bandini and Chris Amon, depicted here- finished the 1967 DaytonaZ4 Hours side-by-side, mimicking the famous one-two-three finish of FordGT40s at Le Mans in'66.Itt said that the Daytona photo hung in his office for a long while after. Werk83t model - made for the company by Ixo in Bangladesh - is in diecast metal, so it feels satisfyingly robust, although it has no opening panels: you can turn the front wheels and that's it. Conveniently, the winning P4 was the spyder version - the second placed Scarfiotti/Parkes P4 was a berlinetta - so you're allowed a better view of the modelled interior and it's very well finished overall. Good value.....

The Ferrari 499P was the very welcome surprise winner of the 2023 centenary running of the Le Mans 24hrs beating reigning victors Toyota into second and leaving Hypercars from Cadillac, Porsche, Peugeot, Glickenhaus and Vanwall trailing.      To celebrate that amazing win, Italian master modelers Looksmart has produced this 1:43 model as well as the #50 pole position teammate. If you prefer your models a little larger, Looksmart will be making the winner in both 1:18 and 1:12 later in the year.  ....
