    This is the Ferrari 126C2 #27 Gilles Villeneuve 1982 USA GP West Long Beach in 1:12 scale by GP Replicas.The Ferrari 126C2 #27, driven by the legendary Gilles Villeneuve, competed in the 1982 United States Grand Prix West at Long Beach—a tight, unforgiving street circuit. Villeneuve, known for his fearless and aggressive driving style, initially crossed the line in third place after a thrilling battle. However, his car was later disqualified for a rear wing violation, nullifying what would have been a hard-fought podium. This race was especially notable for its controversy and unpredictability—Niki Lauda won for McLaren, marking his first victory since returning from retirement. The combination of tight urban corners, mechanical failures, and post-race penalties made Long Beach 1982 a dramatic and politically charged event in a turbulent F1 season, further cementing Villeneuve’s reputation as one of the sport’s most electrifying talents.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.
