    This is the Ferrari F1 500 F2 #8 5th 1953 British GP in 1:12 scale by GP Replicas.Mike Hawthorn drove the Ferrari 500 F2 (#8) to a fifth-place finish at the 1953 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, demonstrating the grit and emerging talent that would later make him Britain’s first F1 World Champion. Known for his daring, tail-out driving style and trademark bow tie, Hawthorn battled a fiercely competitive field that included Ascari and Fangio. What set this race apart was its intense wheel-to-wheel action on the fast, open circuit—where slipstreaming battles often carried cars side by side through Silverstone’s sweeping corners—foreshadowing Hawthorn’s future role as a leading figure in Ferrari’s grand prix campaigns.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.
