You’re Gonna Need A Bigger Shelf!

For those of you who can’t get enough of Jenson Button, today’s entry is for you!

Minichamps have announced three more 1:43 Grand Prix winning specials of the Brit, from this year’s Malaysian, Bahrain, and Spanish Grands Prix.

The Malaysian version (DC29422M) will be distinguished by its wet weather tyres, the Bahrain version (DC29422C) by the ‘Virgin Galactic’ logos on the sides of the car, and the Spanish version (DC29422D) by the ‘Terminator Salvation’ logos on the rear wing endplates.

If Ferrari fail to win a race this year (which, let’s face it, looks quite likely at the moment!), and given that a Vettel Chinese Grand Prix special (DC29415C) has already been announced, might we see a special for every separate Grand Prix winner this year?

We also received the new Minichamps delivery today. The two highlights were the 1:18 1998 McLaren MP4-98T of Mr. & Mrs. Hakkinen (PG981878), and Marco Melandri’s 1:12 2007 Honda RC212V (PO71033).
