Maserati Diecast Models by CMC in 1:18 Scale
90 years
Maserati: reason enough for CMC to concern
ourselfes closer with that brand which is
without a doupt one of the italian racing
car manufacturers with the most venerable
history. CMC decided to appreciate this
birthday with a replication of the 250 F.
After all this racing car is called the
most beautiful Monoposto who ever hit the
racetrack. Also was the year 1957 doubtless
one of the distinguished and eventfulliest
of the companies history. Back then at the
4th of August, more than 200.000 people
spectated the start of the Grand Prix of
the century at the Nürburgring.
After a acrimonious fight with his both
biggest rivals Mike Hawthorn and Peter
Collins, both driving the Ferrari 801 F1,
Juan Manuel Fangio was able to celebrate
with his lightweight constructed Maserati
250 F and only with a head start of 3.6
seconds one of his largest triumphs.
Because with that terrific victory Fangio
conquered his 5th world championship title
and became a legend of racing car history,
and so did the 250 F.
The full metal model is made of 1.387
single handmounted parts. And as we show
you here, we focused our attention not only
at the body. Also the “inner life” of the
model was build with the highest possible
level of details. Even if some of the parts
are invisible for your eyes after the
assembling – just like the
original.

A charmingly graceful body designed by the mastermind Giulio Alfieri, who integrated a light frame of barely 30 kg with more than 200 single pieces of tube. Because of this engineering innovation, the Maserati Tipo 60/61 acquired the legendary nickname “Birdcage”. Only 23 units were made during the years from 1959 through 1961. The American Lucky Casner was one of the most successful owners of the Birdcage Tipo 61. In May 1960, Stirling Moss and Dan Gurney won the 1,000-km race of Nürburg-ring. With the starting number 5, they accomplished an outstanding victory in the pouring rain against keen competition. Only one year later the Camoradi Team (Casner Motor Racing Division) repeated the winning record with Casner and Gregory as the drivers. These consecutive victories added new glory to Maserati and sustained its everlasting top position in the illustrious circle of racing car manufacturers. Our model is composed of 1,140 single parts, 507 of which are made of stainless steel, copper, and brass. This model is an exact replica of the winning car of Moss/ Gurney. What is extraordinary about its build is the adherence of its body to a cage-like framework as if it were a second skin. While looking at the exact details of this model, you are likely to feel transported back to the adventurous experience of racing in old times.
