Phil!!!
There seems to be a severe shortage of pictures of the 250 in yellow...
Can find a wealth of other Ferrari's🤔
But I hope what I have provided is helpful, I'm interested in following your progress, keep 'em coming😢

First, thanks. Yes, I ve found lists of all 36 built but the minor changes abound. The yellows as you know, existed but finding then in race livery is evasive. Even the one you sent, as nice as an example as it is, has the three panels on hood and three 'gills.' however, thanks, it will help in triming out the car. keep looking mates!

One thing I find partcularly interesting is in pic 2, it clearly shows the number on the bonnet No: 31 in a white circle but all the models I've seen it as no white circle just black 31... see [img 4]:

Phil I believe the reason is most photo's are taken in Black & White, the white circle shows up on the sides of car because it's on a shaded part. The circle does not show up on the bonnet, because it's not in the shade and comes out the same colour as the cars bonnet 'photowise'...

Phil Marchese
Great finds...I ll need to sift throught them. The lighting effect vis a vis the bonnet disc is a good note too. thanks. this site is the best!

I love it, it really is TOPS!!!

The race pack has some great cars in it. The yellow LM #4? is nice and there is a red one up front #1?.
the USA #20 & 21 are nice too. they may be cobra coupes, not sure but I ve seen them. Would like to see any of these built.
