my orders in too. Is anyone going to go for the 'Cartograph' version of the San Marino C2, I cant see the point to be honest? Im guessing it's got a clear shell too?

Sorry if it's been mentioned before, but there's also a 'skeleton' version of the 126 c2 available with clear body. Link to picture here.

This is great news for me on several levels. I am a Gilles fan and it means more new 1:20 styrene kits. Maybe they will take over where Tamiya have left off.

I am going to go and preorder some now

I've already got the MFH 126CK Monaco GP version.
Are there significant differences between that and the Fujimi Spanish GP version. I can't see any.

First look at the Fujimi site, not the defenitve model, I woudl say.

It seems to have some simmilar "mistakes" as the 126c2 and again on the nose.
The part that connets to the front wing seems a bit high to me.

Wow, looks fine!!!

Yes, nose cone front end is a bit bulky, but in this case just a bit of sanding would get it right.
Wheel rims are still a bit small IMHO, as in the 126C2. At least in this case we can say that 126Ck used almost always -if not always- 13" rims. Nevertheless the Fujimi wheels are small for 13" too... Anyway, BIG thumbs up for Fujimi to do this!!!

I'm with James: looks very fine indeed!!!!
The kit's designer seem to be a bit undecided about the shape of the nose between the early 81 cars and the late 81 ones, but it's really not a problem. The rest seems well proportioned. Less to spend with MFH or S27 upgrade parts, not bad!! About the wheels, I think maybe Fujimi apply the strategy of make them a bit different to make the model look "fatter". Tamiya does this in the 1/24th range, but with all the kits' bodies.

He,

I'm not saying it is bad in anyway.
It was just the first thing that I saw.
And even if it is not 100% accurate as isn't the 126c2, I wil have not problems building them (mostly) OOB.
It is stil great that Fujimi makes these models and I hope they wil be making a lot more.
Good priced F1 1/20 modelkits are always welcome.

I am sure you're not!

When some grandpas such as us get relly happy with plastic models of 80's cars, It really shows!!
