#587 Majorette - Ferrari 312 T2 F1 (N° 232) As Well As F1 Shadow Dn5 (N° 243) (1977)

Formula i reproductions are rare inwards the early on years of Majorette. Only 2 casts were made inwards 1:64 scale during the belatedly 70s as well as the early on 80s, since a long fourth dimension (see #10). After these 2-3 models, at that spot wouldn´t hold upwards whatever to a greater extent than novel F1s until 1986.

The commencement semester of 1977 brought 2 models: a Ferrari 312 T2 as well as a Shadow DN5. They are overnice reproductions, but withal far away from the Polistil models.

From 1977 to 1982, the Shadow was available inwards black, but inwards 1983 as well as 1984 it was released inwards white. The Ferrari kept its classic cherry colouring from 1977 to 1983.

The white "Shadow" was renamed only F1, as well as it is a rare model, or at to the lowest degree much rarer than the commencement version. I late got a minute unit, which is inwards a much improve shape. I'll modify the pictures soon.

Another interesting difference/variant is the colouring of the driver. The Ferrari unremarkably came alongside a bluish driver, as well as the dark shadow alongside yellowish driver, which is a overnice pick, because the constrast of those colours (black/yellow as well as red/blue) is really nice.

However, at that spot are Shadows alongside bluish drivers, as well as likely likewise Ferraris alongside yellowish drivers. If I convey non dreamt it, I ain a black Shadow DN5 alongside a bluish driver, I volition exhibit the motion-picture exhibit every bit presently every bit I can. These variants are existent rarities, likely mill errors.

There is a 3rd colouring for the Shadow, as well as it is blue. This model has the same decals every bit the dark version. I convey no data regarding this model, as well as thus whatever data is welcome. Unless I missed it inwards the catalogues, it does non look inwards them!

As seen inwards the commencement motion-picture exhibit of this entry, the Shadow was likewise available inwards the 300 serial together alongside a Jeep.
