This is the Ferrari F1 156 #2 2nd 1961 Belgium GP in 1:12 scale by GP Replicas.

Wolfgang von Trips steered the Ferrari 156 “Sharknose” (#2) to a strong second place at the 1961 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa‑Francorchamps, anchoring a historic Ferrari lockout in a race that saw Maranello sweep the top four positions. Known as a composed yet brave driver, von Trips masterfully held off fierce rivals like Stirling Moss while negotiating Spa’s treacherous high-speed corners. The race was unique not only for Ferrari’s clean sweep—an achievement never repeated in F1 history—but also for showcasing the new mid-engined “Sharknose” Ferrari’s dominance under fresh technical regulations, cementing 1961 as a golden year for Ferrari and von Trips alike.
