Diecast/Models 2005 F1 Grand Prix model cars

luke · 30 Jul 2005, 12:08 (Ref:1367232)

Has anyone seen them yet?

I hopefully will get Fernando's 1:18 Renault presentation that is, looks a beauty.

BillyT · 30 Jul 2005, 17:24 (Ref:1367621)

The only model from this season I will be getting Tonio Liuzzi's but as he is not getting a presentation model I have to wait until about december before they are avaliable.

luke · 31 Jul 2005, 11:19 (Ref:1368131)

I will probably ask these for Christams as they usually come out for December, although some presentations are out now..

They would be Kimi's car in 1:18 and maybe Button's......

Knowlesy · 2 Aug 2005, 12:30 (Ref:1370091)

I've got most on pre-order.

Unfortunately, no 1:18 Renaults once again as Mattel continue to hog the license. Same goes for Ferrari.

The conundrum for me this year is that I usually buy Montoya and Kimi's 1:18 cars, but this year they are in the same car which is annoying!

Wish list:
1:43 Sato
1:43 Alonso
1:43 Heidfeld
1:18 JPM
1:18 Kimi
1:18 Villeneuve or Massa, unsure which one.
1:18 Coulthard
1:18 Trulli
1:43 Karthikeyan
1:43 Albers

Will probably change some of the 1:18 wish list to 1:43 for cost and space reasons! Already moving lots of my collection into the loft....

Won't bother with presentation cars, why buy a model of something that has never existed when if you wait a couple of months you can have the proper 2005 racecar?

BillyT · 2 Aug 2005, 17:03 (Ref:1370283)

knowlesy, how many cars have you got?

Knowlesy · 2 Aug 2005, 18:52 (Ref:1370407)

Not that many really, it's just I have a very small room.

I have about 80 1:43 and 20 1:18, plus the odd 1:12 motorcycle.

They'll come in useful for selling some day!

Mate, i have a Ayrton Senna 1:18 94 Williams and i put it up on e-bay, no bids what so ever

Knowlesy · 31 Aug 2005, 20:12 (Ref:1395815)

They brought out a re-release of that last year, so maybe it's affecting the value of the old one. It's the same in every way, except it has tobacco branding.

Most models attract sod all actually, you've just got to hope you have chosen some good ones so profit outweighs loss.

Personally, I just get cars I like. i.e Montoya models.

Same as that, my pride and joy - a limited edition signed JPM Williams FW22

luke · 1 Sep 2005, 14:47 (Ref:1396472)

I don't think selling on ebay is the best thing but buying certainly is, at times it can be amazing with some of the bargins you can pick up.

I don't have a signed model, but I have a signed photographic set.

There were some good ones for sale at Litchlake with rear wing endplates and all that, but I had no money....

Jordi · 7 Sep 2005, 11:01 (Ref:1401230)

I'll go for the Villeneuve 1:18 this year, to be able to continue my Villeneuve collection of 1:18s.

So far (all 1:18)

1995 Minichamps Williams FW17 - Renault test (converted from a DC car)
1996 Onyx Williams FW18 - Renault (slightly damaged)
1997 Minichamps Williams FW19 - Renault British GP

My wife has been very good to me concerning JV's minichamps cars, though she has concentrated on 1:43 scale models, rather than 1:18 models. She has purchased for me the 94 and 95 Indy cars (you're right, Jordi, they are both very expensive as they are now quite difficult to get a hold of), and all but two of JV's Formula One cars (which includes this year's race car - but I received for Father's Day the Sauber show car).

I had JV sign the 1997 world championship edition at the Australian Grand Prix this year, and that's now pride of place on the bookshelf (substitute for mantelpiece). Here is a photo of it: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...0Image0025.jpg

Here are photographs of some of the JV minichamps models I have:

Jordi · 16 Oct 2005, 22:45 (Ref:1435576)

I do have the FW19 and the BAR 002 in 1/43rd...

Recently I bought off Ebay the Renault R24 Chinese GP version (1/18, 166 €, madness, but well, it's done now) and finally got the proper 002. Now I only lack the Indycars, which I might decide to do myself if I can find a suitable model and the C24, which will come out next month I believe. I know there's the showcar running around, but I never liked them. Guess I'm a perfectionist.

By the way, the Renault is Hot Wheels made and despite the fact they've improved notably, they still aren't a match for Minichamps. (Though the front wing from my Minichamps BAR 005 detached the other day - perhaps it was the Nürburgring 2003 version!)

Damon · 18 Oct 2005, 20:41 (Ref:1437327)

Must say, this is the only thing I miss about my old job. I don't get to see all those lovely models any more! Might even be tempted to by Monty's Mac in 1:43, first time I've felt like that in years!

luke · 18 Oct 2005, 20:49 (Ref:1437336)

I must say I have not had any cars for ages now, well I have orded two a few years back and they still have not arrived which is a little sad but hopefully this Christmas they will arrive.

Knowlesy · 19 Oct 2005, 16:12 (Ref:1438097)

My model collection is a little stifled for the time being.

The only models I am guaranteed to buy are the two 2005 McLarens in 1:18.

Well I am 16 soon and have around 40 F1 cars 95% of them 1:18 from now days to the '70.
I did abit of ebay in February when I had money to throw away and collected a few CART / CCWS cars from '93 and '94 of 1:43 and are great, cheap and easier to find and a large collection than the 1:18s which fetch for a lot of money.

nickyf1 · 21 Nov 2005, 19:04 (Ref:1466722)

Just seen Mark Webber, Kimi and Montoya in the GP Legends.

nickyf1 · 2 Dec 2005, 20:12 (Ref:1475952)

Just got my Alonso 2005 Model today and it is extremely good!

Knowlesy · 24 Dec 2005, 18:49 (Ref:1489756)

The Minichamps 1:43's are flying out this year. Already released are the Williams', Renault's, RBR's, Sauber's, Toyota's and BAR's.

Had to cancel some pre-orders such are the rate of them!

Got the Williams and Renault though and they are stunning. Just need my Montoya 1:18 team edition Mac....hope it is the JW livery.
