My drive in a Maserati 250F

Great cars from the days when the tires were skinny and the drivers were fat. Great
video of the car with the inside front wheel off the ground. I have never seen a 250F
do that. I have driven one, but not in anger. Only from the tech barn at R/A up to the
paddock area. Unfortunately it was too crowded to "goose" it.

Back to a goatee? I thought you looked good in the "Duck Dynasty" theme.

Funny!

Dave - I actually think that there is a wide-mouthed version of the 250f. I'll see if I can find a pic.

That looks awesome. I'm looking forward to getting mine today. Love the goatee.

@Dave, I have the wide mouth version as a mint body kit by Strombecker. I have a couple of others too. I was thinking of casting a few but was stymied by the splash/stone guard winglets behind the front axle.

[DAVE]

The only way to cast the stone guards on the body is to have the mold parting line at that level. Someone
out there must have a body you can buy, or better yet have, so you can cut the guards off and make
a separate mold for them.

I have to say, the other Scaley Maserati's didn't do it for me. This one, I like. I'm not sure it's the Blue and gold colors I grew up with or the white body?? It just looks cool to me!

It is a nice looking car Bruce. Of course having a scale Bibbster at the wheel adds to the appeal.

I always liked these models from Scaley. Not perfect but we made them run pretty well. Have not messed with any in a long time though.

Goose - you pretty much confirmed what I thought I knew of the car. I'd assumed the wide-mouth was a short-track version that needed more cooling. Monaco perhaps?

Shortnose was Stirling Moss (probably others) at Monaco in 1956.....according to pictures I have seen.
