To those who are collecting Issue 6, Ferrari F2002. There are actually 2 variants.

One is the Normal/High downforce variant, it is exactly the same as the one on the magazine cover, this one has 3 antennas and jagged front wing ends.



Second variant is what i think is a low downforce variant, similar to the one used at Monza. This one has a much shallow angle rear wing, 4 antennas and a smooth front wing ends.



Me personally prefer the normal variant, but those who really wants to complete the collection, you might wanna collect them both.

I did some google digging and here is what I think of the two variants. The normal variant is the one debuted at Sao Paulo, Brazil and used early season. The second variant looks like the one used at Magny Cours, France where Michael won and secured his 5th drivers title, matching then record holder Fangio. It has the same double layer rear wing and 4 antennas, But the front wing here is wrong as the one used in France is not entirely flat. Still it has some historic value over the normal variant.

French GP F2002

Yes I can confirm it myself personally. Im collecting it over here at Ipoh and both MPH Kinta City (where I bought mine) and Popular Aeon Station 18 had both variants. I was picking my F2002, checking and comparing for defects like broke/bent antenna. It was then I noticed there are 3 antenna and 4 antenna variants. Closer inspection I noticed the front and rear wing differences.

Hello? so silent here. Does anyone seen Issue 7 Brawn BGP 001 on stores yet?

It will definitely sell better than others since its Schumi's car and many of the possible collectors here grew up in the 2000s watching Schumi racing with his red Ferrari on the TV. Coincidentally it appears on stores around his 50th birthday.

Just got my issue 7, BGP 001 from Kinokuniya KLCC. Interesting facts about this model, this is the very car Jenson Button drove to his driver's title and Brawn GP's constructor title at Brazil 2009. The giveaway was the ""Itaipava" sponsors, which is a Brazilian beer brand which sponsored them for only that Sao Paulo race.

It is significant if you're a die hard fan of Senna.

1. It is the car where he made his F1 debut season 1984.

2. At the 1984 Monaco GP, with wet weather conditions, Senna displayed his wet driving talents. Starting from 13th he overtake the field in the difficult conditions. He even came close to wining the race as he was fast catching up to then race leader Alain Prost and even passed him. But then the race was stopped prematurely with red flag as the conditions was deemed too dangerous to continue. According to the rules, when the race was stopped, the results was based on the positions from the previous lap. Senna overtook Prost at the lap (just infront of the Start/Finish line) where the race was red flagged, so his overtake does not count. Conspiracy theories by Senna fans claims the FIA (whos then president was a French) was in cahoots with Prost (French) and robbed Senna his first win. Still it was a great acheivement, 2nd place at his first season, in the rain, at Monaco. It would be a foreshadow of Senna's acheivements at later seasons.



3. It was jointly designed by Rory Byrne and Pat Symonds. Both would went on to design championship winning cars, Byrne designed the Schumacher era Ferrari cars while Symonds would be responsible for Alonso's championship winning Renaults.

Yeah perhaps, Im from Ipoh and both Popular Station 18 and MPH Kinta City had both variants. Yet when i visited Kinokuniya KLCC there is only the standard variant. I guess we are lucky here to get both variants? Anyway they are all sold out now, only Issue 7 BGP 001 on the shelves here.

To those who are still unconvinced there are 2 variants of issue 6 Ferrari F2002. Here is more proof. Today I visited Popular Aeon Station 18 and there are 3 issue 6 left. 1 standard and 2 "double stacked" rear wing variant.




The standard variant was used early 2002 season, from Brazilian GP. The "double stacked" rear wing is most similar to the one used at French GP, where Michael Schumacher drove to his 5th world title.

Spotted issue 9, Fernando Alonso's 2005 Renault R25 in shelf (in my case Popular Ipoh Parade). There is only one on shelf along with 3-4 Issue 7, Jenson Button's 2009 Brawn BGP 001. Strangely Issue 8 Toleman is all but gone. Upon closer inspection of the R25 it is mostly resemble early season car, as the winglets on the front wing is not yet there at early 2005 season. As the for model itself i noticed the front wing is abit bent, and since there is just one, i cannot compare with other models. In the end did not getting it. Hopefully other places will stock it soon.

And its reliability is terrible too . That aside, this is one of the most unique formula 1 livery ever, and will be a one time only thing. Its impossible to have such livery since the regulation changes way back at 2000.

May I ask which Ferrari? F2002 from the previous issue? Currently over here at Ipoh last saw Issue 11, Tyrrell 003 of Jackie Stewart.

Just gotten my Issue 12 2008 Mclaren MP4-23 at MPH Kinta City. Must be a hot seller as there were only 2 left, one with a cracked case. Me personally altho not a Mclaren fan, but in terms of car chassis MP4-21 to 23 were some of my favorite F1 cars ever. Growing up during the 2000s F1 era of "aero" cars, the MP4-21 to 23 were the peak of the Mclaren aero evolution started with the MP4-19. Together with the Ferrari F2008 they are the last of their kind before 2009's major aero revolution that mandated a much simpler body and flat wings.
