1:18 Button Brawn GP Sample Arrives
The big news today was that Minichamps sent us a sample of their 1:18 replica of Jenson Button’s 2009 Australian Grand Prix winning Brawn BGP001 (DC2922A)!
Now, a couple of cynics out there have suggested that we do not really receive these samples, but instead use Photoshop and other people’s images to give the impression that we have received a sample!
Of course, this is complete nonsense, and I’m sorry I’ve had to resort to this, but below is a photo of me holding the sample to prove that we have received it! You can of course click on the link above to see photos of the sample without my face included!
We also received the latest Minichamps delivery, headlined by a couple of very popular 1:43 Formula One cars.
The first of these is the Sebastian Vettel First Win special Toro Rosso STR3 from the 2008 Italian Grand Prix (DC28415M). The second is Lewis Hamilton’s 2009 McLaren showcar (DC29401P), the only 2009 Hamilton replica that will be available before Christmas.
There were also several other 1:43 2009 Formula One cars on the delivery. There were three showcars; the Force Indias of Adrian Sutil (DC29420P) and Giancarlo Fisichella (DC29421P), and the other McLaren of Heikki Kovalainen (DC29402P). Minichamps’ next 2009 race car arrived today too, Nick Heidfeld’s BMW F1.09 (DC29406).
On two wheels, we received the 1:12 MV Agusta F4 Senna (P121730). I love Minichamps deliveries this time of year, they always seem to be full of interesting subjects!
