My latest - the Maranello Concessionaires 206S Dino Coupe from Le Mans. Built for me by Jean-Francois Alberca.

My Maranello Concessionaires collection continues.... this 206S Dino is a delight and getting the details correct was a nightmare as the decals in the kit were incorrect... the stripes on the tail are now correct in number and style. JFA did a remarkable job to give me a totally accurate 1/43rd replica of the real thing..

David, as a specialist of the Maranello Concessionnaires, can you tell me if I am wrong when I say that I think the decals are not accurate ?

It seems the blue stripe has no white borders on the real car. I know this is sometimes a problem or a doubt, it's the same with the Swedish 250 GTO for example...

This is an interesting debate as reference photos are few and far between.... however, I have this from the Le Mans start and shows clearly (?) the White stripes.... JFA and I debated for a long time on the stripes and decided to add them as they were definitely on the car at the start.....

The yellow stripes on the back of the car.... in the kit offers three stripes but as you correctly see there are 4 yellow stripes...

The thin white stripes are a mystery and barely visible but if you leave them off you are wrong and if you put them on..... We agreed to leave the thin white stripes on... but I have no idea why they were on the car?...

Maranello Concessionaires colour scheme is widely known and this is the only one of their cars that I know of to feature the thin white stripe.... very odd!.

Strangely the 275GTB has the same white stripe alongside the Cambridge Blue.... very odd.... more research!.

By viewing this picture, it seems you took the right decision.
I'll make some research on my side.

Wow! Great model build. This one really got my attention as it is one of only four Ferraris I am missing from my Le Mans collection. I wish I could find a kit to have built.
