Ferrari 312 F1 1969 South Africa GP Driver Chris Amon Car # 9 in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari 312 F1 1969 South Africa GP Driver Chris Amon Car # 9 in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
At the 1969 South African Grand Prix, Chris Amon piloted the Ferrari 312 F1, car #9, with his characteristic precision and determination. Known for his exceptional skill and bad luck, Amon was one of the most respected drivers of his era never to win a Formula One Grand Prix. The Kyalami circuit hosted this season opener under intense heat, making tire management and engine cooling critical. What made this race stand out was the fierce competition and the transition era in F1 technology, with teams experimenting between old and new designs. Although Amon qualified strongly, he was forced to retire due to mechanical issues—an unfortunate but all-too-common theme in his career.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication
