Love the styling of the 512M & love the classic Sunoco Blue used by Team Penske.  Fully sealed model, like all CMRs, but looks great on display with my other 512s.

What a great-looking Ferrari and replica of it. Such a amazing model makes any other opening features quite secondary. Very nice one !

I really don't know anything about these types of racers, yet these look awfully clean to me.  I guess I'm used to seeing these with a bit of road-dirt  on them.  🤔

Thanks guys!  Totally get your point, @chris.  I just like to think of these as "pre-race" condition. 😉 

This beautiful Team Penske Ferrari never actually won a race, even with a stellar driver lineup of Mark Donohue & David Hobbs.  It suffered quite a bit of damage in its first 2 races.  Quite a few pics I've seen have duct tape all over the front end when it took 3rd place at the Daytona 24 Hours race.

Or post-race, after clean-up. Either way OR in weathered attire - they are fabulous. And FABULOUS pics!!
