About product

Martinirossi Light Blue, the light stripe of a celebrated Italian graphic

The light blue is one of the three stripes with which an Italian aperitif brand signed dozens of racing cars. The trio of stripes, a light blue, a dark blue and a red one, lies on a white ground, and it is exactly the lightest tone that gives the whole combination its typical lightness. Without it the graphic does not work: the dark blue with the red on white on its own comes across quite differently and the eye recognizes the difference at once.

The cars that stripe ran on

The best known chapter is the endurance Porsches. In 1971 a Porsche 917 in these colors brought home the overall victory in the twenty-four hours at Le Mans, and in 1976 and 1977 the Porsche 936 added two more. To the same family belong the circuit Porsche 935 and later the group-class specials of the Lancia marque. Anyone who builds any of them needs the light blue in a tone that goes with the remaining two stripes, otherwise the whole graphic falls out of tune.

What to keep in mind during the build

  • the stripes differ from car to car in width as well as in their run, so work from photographs of the particular entry
  • part of the graphic tends to be in decals, part is dealt with by masking
  • a white body is the starting state for this combination
  • to complete the trio you also need the dark blue and the red
  • photographs from a particular race will serve better than the artwork on a box

The shade will be appreciated by builders of sports prototypes and group-class cars who want to have the stripes genuinely in the right tones and not in whatever was left in the palette.

FAQ

Three stripes on a white ground: a light blue, a dark blue and a red. This shade covers the first of them.

Porsche endurance prototypes of the 1970s, the circuit Porsche 935 and the later group-class specials of the Lancia marque.

With the original form of the graphic yes, as the stripes are designed for a white ground. On a dark body the whole combination comes across entirely differently.
