This 1/43 scale model from Hot Wheels Elte range is of the Ferrari 126C2 in which Gilles Villeneuve finished second at Imola in 1982.
Made from diecast metal with other material parts it measures approximately 9.5cm (3.75 inches) in length.
Presented on a black plastic plinth under a clear acrylic top and within a cardboard window display box, the model can easily removed from its plinth with the aid of a cross head screwdriver.
OUR OPINION: The Elite range of models from Hot Wheels are a step up in terms of quality from their regular models, bringing them much closer to that of Minichamps. There is no disguising though that these models are in fact manufactured by IXO and as such the overall quality and detail is very good, but some models can be let down on small plastic parts not being fine enough and bodywork paint finishes being slightly on the thick side. Overall, excellent value for money.
