Ferrari 312T2, Hot Wheels Elite 1/43

Today another Ferrari F1 champion's car, this one is from 1977. Ferrari 312T2 is hugely successful car that was used during season 1976. and 1977. and won in these years  two constructors championship (in 1976 and 1977) and one drivers title (in 1977). Niki Lauda won championship before the end of season, and after that went to Brabham team, and his place took G. Villenueve, and that model I will present to you soon.

Danas na blogu još jedan Ferrari F1 šampionski model, ovaj put 312T2 iz 1977. godine koji je u toj sezoni osvojio i vozački i konstruktorski šampionat. Ovaj auto je u nešto izmijenjenom izdanju učestvovao i 1976. godine kada je odnio samo konstruktorski šampionat dok je Laudi izmakao šampionat u vozačkoj kategoriji. Nakon 1977. godine i osvojene titule Niki Lauda je prešao u Brabham a njegovo mjesto je zauzeo Žil Vilneve. Vinev je debitovao u ovom autu na GP Kanade, i taj model će u nekoj skoroj budućnosti biti na blogu, inače model koji mi je izuzetno simpatičan.

So this model is made by Hot Wheels Elite in 1/43 scale and it is done properly good. All parts are painted well and assembled good. I think this model is fine, but some arts in interior in the car could be done better. And as I can see some Hot Wheels models are done better that this one, and those models are on sale. However details on this one are nice, cockpit is full of small details like gearlever, seatbelts, and buckles. Lot of photo etched parts on this models shows that this one is HW Elite made.

Ovaj model je Hot Wheels Elite u razmjeri 1/43 i kao i po običaju HW je odradio odličan posao. Model je zaista dobar, ali kako sam pisao već o modelu 312T koji je i kao auto bio sličan modelu 312T2 tako je i model dosta sličan i imaju slične mane i vrline. Naravno detalji su tu i sjajno su urađeni, dosta foto rezanih djelova. Jedina zamjerka ide na nosač zadnjeg spojlera koji je nešto deblji nego što bi trebao biti. Svakako farba je odlična, bez nesavršenosti i neravnina. Naljepnice su takođe dobre, jedino bih rekao da na spojlerima naljepnice nisu baš zaštićene ili tako izgledaju, što znači da ćemo morati malo da sačekamo da vidimo kako će se naljepnice nositi sa zubom vremena.

Ukoliko želite da čitiate još o ovim modelima možete da to uradite na ovom linku. Model je dobar ali nemam mnogo što da dodam, osim možda malo priče o boji. Ono što je važno reći za HW Elite modele je da imaju neku posebnu crvenu farbu. Ta posebnost se ogleda u tome da je farba malo plavlja (hladnija) nego kod ostalih proizvođača. Ja sam u početku mislio da sam dobio takav model ali sam kasnije (kad sam ih sakupio još nekoliko) shvatio da je zapravo farba takva. Pa ovo je samo kratka opaska da ne mislite da imate feleričan model kao i ja.

After writing about Ferrari 312T model in some previous posts, I don't have much to add. Only maybe one thing, and that is the paint. The paint on this model is a little bit colder shade of red on the other HW Elite models. Decals and other parts are equally well made as on the other models. This thing regarding the paint is probably only on my model maybe, so don't be too upset about this.

Tires and plastic parts are well done, especially I will point out the windscreen on the model which is made thin blue plastic looks awesome. Tires are done nicely and finally there is no need to sand them or to refine the edges and so on. So all I can say, if you like Ferrari or Lauda, you should definitely have this HW Elite model. 

So as conclusion, I would say that you should buy this one if you can find it for some affordable price. I bought my for 20 Euros, which is great price if you know that regular price is around 40 Euros. With some patience you can find one for some decent money. Enjoy in images and in text.

Ukoliko volite Laudu ili Ferrari svakako vam je ovaj model u kolekciji neophodan, meni je bio važan da bih kompletirao 312T porodicu modela :) koja je zaista jedna od najplodonosnijih u Ferrarijevoj istoriji, sa 3 vozačke titule i 4 kontruktorska šampionata. Ovaj model košta oko 40 Eura, ali ja sam ga našao za 20 Eura i to je vrlo fer cijena. Uz malo strpljena i čekanja ovaj model može biti jeftin a nov i u kutiji. Toliko za sada, uživajte u slikama do sledećeg posta...
