Ferrari 126CK USA West 1981 Pironi by Tameo Kits
Also available TMKTMB045 Villeneuve
Having tried a variety of forced induction systems during practice for the Long beach GP, Ferrari settled on turbos for the race. Villeneuve made a great start but out-braked himself on the opening lap but remained among the lead pack for the first few laps until his driveshaft failed, while Pironi was running a little further down and eventually retired with engine problems. Tameo’s models are, as we would expect, very well finished with excellent paint, neatly applied decals and plenty of fine detailing. The engines are almost entirely hidden beneath the bodywork, although there is a hint of engine detail in there if we look closely. Both are numbered editions, with the Villeneuve car being from an issue of 200 and Pironi’s, just 81.
