BENETTON FORD B194 - MICHAEL SCHUMACHER - AUSTRALIAN GP 1994 (299)

The model – magic moments

Particularly noble home accessory or representative ambience for modern business premises: The new Minichamps models in the large scale 1:8 are more than the perfect replicas of their famous role models - with their sculptural shapes and flawless workmanship they are unique works of art that beautify any environment.

And as usual in the art world, the editions are strictly limited: Only 99 copies of individual color versions are available for the world market - it couldn't be more exclusive. With these small numbers of pieces, a manufacture production is a matter of course, which creates real masterpieces with dedication to detail and conscientious processing. The components are put together by hand in numerous work steps and the exact fit is constantly checked. This also applies to the extensive decorations, which are also applied in handcrafted quality.

The special resin material enables the flawlessly smooth surfaces of the body, which can be painted multiple times in the original vehicle colors received. The final layer of clear lacquer and careful polishing by hand create the incomparable deep shine that makes the model sparkle from every perspective. The mirror-smooth glazing also contributes significantly to this. All exterior and interior details correspond exactly to the model vehicle - right down to the windscreen washer nozzle or the loudspeaker cover on a parcel shelf. Soft rubber tires in the correct dimensions and with the correct profile prove the meticulous implementation as well as the metal wheel suspensions.

The high-quality models measure around 50 to 70 centimeters in length and about 25 centimeters in width. They weigh between four and eight kilograms. Each copy is delivered with a single showcase that protects the model from dust and at the same time guarantees a noble presentation with the base plate. A photo-etched plaque made of semi-matt metal documents the exact vehicle type and the exact numbering of the model delivered - this makes each individual item unmistakable, like the chassis number of an automobile.

The total weight of the objects is nine to twelve kilograms. A stand for the showcase is optionally available so that it can be freely positioned in the room.
