Product Introduction
[Recreate the revolutionary car that first adopted a semi-automatic transmission in F1] The Ferrari F189, driven by Nigel Mansell to a debut win at the Brazilian Grand Prix, the opening race of the 1989 F1 Grand Prix. This plastic model assembly kit recreates the later model, which was equipped with an induction pod above the driver's head to improve engine intake efficiency from the Mexican Grand Prix. The car's unique form, with its extremely narrow nose section and significantly tapered side pontoons, is faithfully reproduced. The rear cowl is removable, allowing you to observe the V12 engine, monocoque, and distinctive damper layout even after assembly. Two seat parts are included: one for the seat alone and one with the driver seated. Choose which to assemble. Includes decals for Nigel Mansell and Greg Berger.
