We are talking about the new Fujimi 1981 Ferrari 126CK. I believe that you are thinking about the Fujimi 1982 Ferrari 126C2. But yes, I also have the MFH upgrade kit for the 126C2 and you are right. It's very nice.

And it is sold out already. I'm so glad Fujimi is releasing new plastic kits in 1/20.
And they do the ones I like. Hurah ! Hope next one will be F187/88 or 156/85.
Or may be Lotus 91.

Great news!!
A big thank you to the people at Fujimi for their work!!
But......anyone noticed the wrong water radiator/oil cooler position? They are upside down than what used throughout the whole 1981 season.

Nothing that can't be easily fixed though.
And now let's wait for another red beauty by FUJIMI, maybe a Lauda or Sceckter one

THE KIT LOOKS REALLY IMPRESIVE!!!

Chapeau, Fujimi!

Yes, teh radiator issue is really strange. Checked my references and found no evidence of this config. Also surprising the side panels are molded in black.
That said, we have every reason to be pleased!!
A good thing too is that the chrome of wheels -i know some don't like it- is more close to real thing than in the 126C2.
Fujimi has done a GREAT kit from what we can see now.

Yes, this is fantastic news and hopefully Fujimi's commitment to a series of 1/20 F1's!

Another improvement I noticed is the brake scoops moulded in clear plastic. With a bit of orange/brown clear and matt should look good.

Got my notice from HLJ that my pre-order is ready to ship - sent my payment in. I see they have the brake ducts molded in clear, however all the pics I've seen show black brake ducts.

Do you mean on the real car? I'm not an expert on this particular Ferrari so not sure if it had fibreglass or black plastic ducts. Shame if this the case!

Ahh yes, but on the 126C2, they were semi transparent fiberglass, so what you do, is you replace the two, and, voila, both models are perfect

Of course, naturally that means that everybody who bought a C2, have to buy a CK now. Like me.
