Starting to see the first few Piquet 03 models on ebay. I'm going to wait untill the price drops a little before I get mine.

Knowlesy · 27 Mar 2005, 12:32 (Ref:1262856)

Well, after a lull, I've finally got some new models....

1/18
2004 Sauber, Fisichella
2004 McLaren, Raikkonen
2001 Williams, Montoya, BMW boxed edition

1/43
2004 Jordan, Heidfeld

All top quality! I would highly recommend the Sauber, it is extremely pretty!

luke · 27 Mar 2005, 16:16 (Ref:1262984)

Hopefully my 1:18 1991 Benetton (Schumi) will be made soon.
Along with the 1991 'taxi' Williams, from the British Grand prix.

I only orded them, a good 12 months a go.

Knowlesy · 27 Mar 2005, 16:37 (Ref:1263001)

Yeah, I pre-ordered the Mansell taxi a good 18 months ago or so! Knowing Minichamps, they could be another couple of years with it!

Neil Adams · 27 Mar 2005, 20:15 (Ref:1263103)

waiting for my 1/43 heidfeld jordan, think i'll go for the karthikyan (sp) 2005 one when available as he seems to be the best jordan driver this year

Message for JNA

When are M/C LM 2004 996 GT3's released?

Also Audis?

jna · 28 Mar 2005, 16:45 (Ref:1263596)

Hello LJ

The latest update I have seen from Minichamps is that all 2004 Le Mans issues (Porsche, Audi and Chevrolet) are set for release from May 2005 onwards. Now that can mean anything these days when you bear in mind that they have still to release the #68 Viper from the 2003 race.

It would not be unfair to say that Le Mans is not seen as being very important to PMA anymore, and I suspect that the nine cars involved will find their way onto the market between May and the end of the year.

Picked up some of the Spark 2004 cars at a fair last weekend, and also the Q-Model Tenoras Nissan R89C from 1990 which is very good. Also bought the Spark Kremer K8 #16 from 1998. First class model, so can't wait for the others to follow.

The man I buy from also makes hand builts for me, and I collected an excellent Toyota Supra #57 from 1996, a Cougar #30 from 1988, and a Primagaz 956 #12 from 1986.

Bought anything recently?

John

lj79 · 28 Mar 2005, 16:54 (Ref:1263601)

Yes - Inline 996 gt3, Petit Le Mans 2004, Alex Job 996 GT3, Sebring class winner 2003, Rennworks 996 GT3, Daytona 2003.

All Minichamps. Alex Job and Rennworks cars were a bargain, in relative terms, the Inline car was very expensive.

The Tenoras Nissan is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen at the Sarthe.

I will check the Spark website - some interesting releases.

It looks like its due for July, however, originaly last year it was due for September.
The Benetton looks set for May. However, I would expect to arrive, around Autum time, if that.

luke · 30 Mar 2005, 12:35 (Ref:1265213)

My latest model... '94 Mario Andretti, Newman/Haas, Lola - Honda. Link

Btw I found a site that has the whole collection, its worth a visit if you like 1:43s. Link

Easy mistake.

Wingman · 5 Apr 2005, 06:39 (Ref:1270536)

Do any of you guys know if any model has ever been released of the "John Player Special" BMW 635csi's? I'm not very hopefull as they were only raced here in Australia, but I'd love to get my hands on one.

jna · 5 Apr 2005, 18:22 (Ref:1271092)

Try a post on this forum. There are collectors in Australia who are members and who may have the answer.

Can't offer a whole ready-made, but AB Decals of Germany do the graphics to convert any existing 1/43 BMW 635CSi.

Grand Prix Models in Radlett stocks them, but I'm sure they're not the only ones. Expect to pay maybe £10-£12 for the decal set.

Hope this helps.

TimD · 5 Apr 2005, 22:08 (Ref:1271298)

Oh - forgot to mention - there are two decal sheets, for either the '86 or '87 cars and all driver options are included.

Bathurst sand-trap diorama, anyone?

Wingman · 6 Apr 2005, 04:41 (Ref:1271452)

Thanks Guys.
I'll get onto that forum, and you have a pretty good memory TimD, it gave teamwork a new perspective didn't it?

Biante have announced they'll be making one in the next 12 months or so. It will be in 1:18 scale.

Wingman · 22 Apr 2005, 06:38 (Ref:1284322)

Thanks Dingo

I have asked them to e-mail me when they become available.

luke · 4 May 2005, 17:37 (Ref:1293021)
