The model is presented in a special satin-surface carton box, with racing number 27 made legendary by Gilles Villeneuve, and includes the reproduction of the special hook used in the original car to remove the upper part of the bodywork. Two magnetic bands, that resemble the “miniskirts” used on the cars at that time, have been used to open and close the box.

Once the box has been opened you will find a pleasant surprise: the upper body of the model has been raised a couple of centimetres to aid visibility of the engine and of the other mechanical details. This is because it is fixed to the upper part of the transparent plastic protection, but it can be disassembled and placed next to the model if you wish. Note: The upper body cannot be placed on top of the chassis on this model.

When you remove the transparent plastic protection you will be able to admire the model and identify all the details of the car’s mechanical features, thanks to the detailed description printed inside the box. The progressive numbering of the model is made with a laser system on an 0,5 mm thick aluminium band applied to the base. On the lower part of the box the more memorable moments of the history of this car are highlighted, together with Gilles Villeneuve’s legendary exploits of the 1981 season.
