Paul's Model Art Paul's Model Art have produced Formula 1 Minichamps since the early 1990's. The early 'Road Box' models had less detail than today with items such as mirrors being ignored for ease of manufacture. | |
Over the years the quality and detail of their Formula One models has improved to the high standard that we see today. The following teams will be represented by Pauls Model Art for the 2015 Formula One season: - Force India, Lotus, McLaren, Mercedes, Red Bull, Sauber, Toro Rosso & Williams | |

World Champions Collection Minichamps produce 1/43 diecast replicas of Formula 1 World Championship drivers and cars with their "World Champions Collection". The collection is generally very sought after by collectors and sells out quickly after | |
release, resulting in elevated prices on the second hand market. | |

Rare/Hard to Find 1/43 F1 Minichamps At present, the Michael Schumacher MSC No:17 Benetton B195 Grand Prix France 1995 is the most valuable of all the 1/43 F1 Minichamps. | |
The model has sold for over £1500 but can be found cheaper & has been known to go for the modest sum of £500. The MSC No:17 was withdrawn from the market place and replaced by the MSC No:24. There does not appear to be an official reason given for this, however, it has been noted that the MSC No:17 uses the B195/1 body style which incorporates the 'double hump' air box when in actual fact the Benetton should be the B195/2 with the normal airbox, view here, which was run at the 1995 French Grand Prix. The MSC No:17 was a limited run of 1995 pieces, however, only a fraction of this amount has made it to the market place which is the reason for the elevated price. It is not actually known whether of not the full production run was ever completed and if so what became of the other models. | |
