This is the Ferrari 250 TR Ponton-Fender Le Mans 24h 1958 Team Ed Hugus 7th Place #22 E. Hugus - E. Erickson in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Pontoon-Fender, entered by Team Ed Hugus and driven by Ed Hugus and Ernie Erickson, finished 7th overall at the 1958 24 Hours of Le Mans. This race was particularly grueling, with heavy rain causing treacherous conditions that led to numerous retirements. Hugus, an American privateer with a history of Ferrari entries, and Erickson demonstrated remarkable endurance and consistency in the powerful V12-powered 250 TR. The 1958 edition was historic for Ferrari, as the factory team secured overall victory with another 250 TR, reinforcing the model’s dominance in endurance racing. Hugus and Erickson’s top-10 finish further showcased the reliability and performance of Ferrari’s customer racing program.
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.
