Stunning add mate , great colour combo! I turned down this colour scheme in favour of Blue/White.

Mistake maybe?

I think you just wrote it. Agree that styling is possibly not its strongest point although the missus thinks its rugged and handsome.
I tend to agree that i am that and the Veyron is quite nice ;)

Thanks mate. The Blue/White is the production car and this is the 'Show' car which is this scale have some quite large differences. Personally either as i have both so its not to my mind a mistake to choose one over the other either way

British roads have history. Some were built by the Romans. British road investment being what it is, they have only been re-surfaced a few times since.

All the world's roads have potholes. We also have pothumps. This is where the local council drops a slightly too large dollop of tarmac into the hole and then lets passing traffic finish the job.

Not sure to be honest. I 'think' so

Nice addition, mate!

I love the black/yellow colour combination! So much so, that when I bought my 1:18, I was having trouble deciding which one to get, because I also love the dark grey and silver combination. At the end, I decided to get the grey/silver in 1:18 and the black/yellow in 1:43, and eventually also bought other colour combinations in 1:64... :)

Great picture Julio. Definitely the best way to solve the problem of choosing a colour. I think my favourites would be the same as yours though.

Always good to see a new Jagermeister I think and i have to hand it to Minichamps as this is very good.

Damned with faint praise ;)

Quite probably the finest model in my collection to date. Simple as that.

This is the reason i still buy 1/18

there's detail and then there's precise detail, did they miss anything! it look's fantastic as if it's a real one that they just shrink gunned! it's utterly gobsmacking, is there a 1:43 scale by them?

This model reminds me of the Ferrari 312 on youtube that was built in 1.8 scale by a watch maker over several years.
It actually ran!!
so then, what kind of mileage are you getting...?? :mrgreen:

(just lovely!)
And I like the Jager as well but this one is special.

Indeed TSM have a range of 1/43 too which is equally good although the ones i have are Spark moulds but that is no bad thing. As to whther they missed anything i'm not sure but the Exoto version i have i thought was as detailed as you can get but this just blows it away.

Cheers my friend. Even the missus was impressed with this one although she did ask where i was going to put it as Tyrrell town has now subjugated Ferrari corner and is taking aim at Audi world across the room ;)
And if it fired up when i opened the box i wouldn't have been surprised at all - its incredible

We can't afford a Tyrrell in our house Andy - can I come and play with yours? :D

Just wonderful. You're absolutely right too - worth buying 1:18 for things like this.

How impressive that TSM can come out of the starting blocks with product like this?
It has everything covered including a fair price tag, who could ask for more?
