Newsletter 515: Fujimi Avalanche

What a good time the 70s for "inventions" and crazy ideas in Formula 1, with several single-seater 6-wheelers, although only one of them got to race before forcing to participate on 4 wheels! A great reproduction of the version sponsored by First National City with all its mechanical and interior details, including its legendary Cosworth DFV engine.

Connoisseurs of the matter have always said that the MP4/5 was the most charismatic F1 that Senna drove. Fujimi has made the MP4/5 a very elegant kit with a very careful exploded view and a detailed engine. Beware, the Marlboro advertising does not come on the model.

Despite being the single-seater in which Giles Villeneuve unfortunately lost his life, it is also considered one of the most beautiful in F1, as well as successful, since with this car Ferrari was proclaimed World Champion of Brands in the 1982 season. The kit has no less than 149 pieces with which to detail the model to the maximum, thanks to the fact that both the chassis, engine and suspensions are visible by removing the upper part of the body.

137 pieces of pure pleasure to assemble the single-seater that Ferrari used during the 87 season. It does not include the tobacco decals, but it does include a great exploded view to assemble the "small" Ferrari 1.5L V6 turbo engine.

The kit that will allow us to assemble the Ferrari F2012 with which Fernando Alonso won the 2012 Malaysian GP held in changing weather conditions. A model with many parts, with good fit, and with a great detail of the mechanical and aerodynamic parts.

In what was the last Swedish GP, Niki Lauda achieved victory at the wheel of his Brabham BT46B, the only single-seater that has won all the races he has contested...since he only contested that one. His famous fan at the rear generated such an amount of ground effect that he was banned immediately after the race. A mythical F1, which Fujimi allows us to recreate with a fantastic kit with all the details, including its impressive V12 engine of Alfa Romeo origin.

A single-seater with a lot of history, as it was the one that allowed Schumacher to win his sixth world championship title and beat the record that Fangio had held for 46 long years. Fujimi has honored such an important piece of history with a model full of details and with a wonderful exploded view, including its atmospheric engine type 052 V10 at 90º with a displacement of 3.0 liters. Glory to the ears!

Limited time re-edition of the Williams Renault FW16 scale model as it was driven in 1994 by Ayrton Senna and Damon Hill.

The McLaren Honda MP4/6 is one of the most beautiful and powerful machines to ever grace an F1 circuit, and Fujimi has broken it down for us, creating a model with very good fit and excellent overall detail.

Extensive set of garage tools for building your dioramas or decorating your models.

Ferrari doesn't stop making beautiful cars, and luckily Fujimi reproduces every one for us to build them... Isn't it just great? The kit features an extensive and well laid part listing as usual with Fujimi, the bodywork is made in just one piece, tyres are rubber made, and it also includes chromed parts.

Although the GTI already existed in the Golf range as a reference, Volkswagen thought that it was not enough, and brought out a more radical, powerful and exclusive version with a 3.2-liter V6-cylinder engine. The R32 was born. In its second generation, it increased its power to reach 250 hp, and unlike the GTI, it had an all-wheel drive system . The latter is the model that Fujimi has successfully recreated in this kit, with its beautiful multi-spoke rims, wraparound seats, optics with interior volume, and even a set of masks to be able to paint the glass frames.

Stylized design, purity of lines, qualifications that the Ferrari F430 has received from motor specialists, and that are accentuated in the Scuderia version, with specific details to refer to the Maranelo racing team. All these features have been collected to perfection by Fujimi for its scale model of this model, with a very detailed interior, and although the rear hood does not open, it has enough parts to faithfully reproduce the upper part of the engine visible through the transparent shell.

The Golf GTI has become a myth. Its first generation created a category, and its second generation, the MkII remained the reference despite the fact that it began to have much more competition, A model with everything necessary to recreate this model, with its characteristic wrap-around seats and its peculiar upholstery, faithfully reproduced on the decals.

What suggestive designs have the Italian supercars of the 80s! Lamborghini, Maserati, Ferrari... and de Tomaso, with its aggressive and unmistakable Pantera. Fujimi brings us a model without too many complications, focusing on the body and the interior, to complete the GTS version of this legendary model. The body measures 175mm long, 75mm wide, and 103mm wheelbase (distance between axles).

The first versions of Italian supercars have a special charm. Yes, it is true, later versions with spoilers, stickers and other aerodynamic accessories can be spectacular, but sometimes the beauty and purity of lines of the original design is lost. For lovers of that essence, Fujimi brings us the initial version of the De Tomaso Pantera, with a simple model without mechanical parts to assemble, but with a detailed interior. Quite a beauty.

It seems like yesterday when Mercedes landed in the different GT's championships with its SLS AMG GT3, presented almost at the same time that the first street units were delivered to its lucky customers. Fujimi has opted for the presentation version of the car in this reference, with the characteristic silver of Mercedes competition vehicles, and in the absence of a competition decoration, it includes a fantastic photo-etched plate with all the grilles, as well as other details, that enhance the final realism of the model once assembled.
