Fujimi 09196 1/20 Ferrari 126CK 1981 GP-4

A wonderful kit from Fujimi to make the Ferrari 126CK!

Appearing in their 1981 Formula One season, the powerful but aerodynamically questionable 126CK is just waiting to join your collection. A fun build for any Ferrari fan!

The 126CK was first tested during the Italian Grand Prix in 1980. In testing it proved far faster than the 312T5 chassis the team were then using and Gilles Villeneuve preferred it, though he had reservations about the handling. Early unreliability of the turbo engine put paid to Villeneuve's 1981 championship hopes but he did score back to back victories in Monaco and Spain, as well as several podium places. Because of the problematic handling the 126CK was at its best on fast tracks with long straights such as Hockenheim, Monza and Buenos Aires. The car proved to be very fast but Gilles Villeneuve found the handling to be very difficult, calling the car "a big red Cadillac".
