Maserati Tipo T151/3 Le Mans Test 65 12 by Profil 24
Maserati T151/4 Le Mans practice 1965
The parts in this kit are very similar to those in Profil’s recently released 1964 race version, but with a few tweaks to make the very good looking white machine driven by Lucky Casner in practice the following year (where his luck unfortunately ran out!). This means plenty of clean resin castings with good panel engraving and a fair amount of photo etch including the spokes for the wire wheels to be assembled using resin rims and hubs. The assembly drawings look to be the same as the earlier version and one change to the car was around the rear windscreen, so you do not want the two-piece etched frame here. The car is well documented so the window area will be obvious from rear end images and the finished model should be a very impressive piece.

About Profil 24
A well established maker of well proportioned resin & metal kits. Profil are based in Le Mans and much of their subject choice reflects this, although they do also have a select few well detailed rally cars in 1:24 and even the occasional speed record car and aeroplane! 1:24 LM subjects usually kerbside, while 1:43 kits are highly detailed and for the advanced modeller. Made in France.
