Ferrari F1 126C2 (late version) #28 Winner 1982 Holland Zandvoort GP Didier Pironi in 1:18 scale
This is the Ferrari F1 126C2 (late version) #28 Winner 1982 Holland Zandvoort GP Didier Pironi in 1:18 scale by GP Replicas.
Didier Pironi clinched his final and most emotional Formula 1 victory at the 1982 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, driving the late-version Ferrari 126C2 #28. Facing a tense atmosphere within the team, Pironi launched a daring assault off the start, passing both Piquet and Prost, and then overtook René Arnoux for the lead. The race stood out not only for his commanding pace—with Ferrari’s turbocharged V6 and ground‑effect chassis delivering blistering performance—but for the dramatic backdrop: the fallout from team orders in Imola, the loss of teammate Gilles Villeneuve, and Pironi’s own near-fatal clash months later. His triumph in tricky, cloudy Dutch conditions sealed his third and final F1 win, symbolizing raw speed, intense strategy, and bittersweet vindication.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
