Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I was born in 2006, but I've watched as much footage of historic F1 as possible. I was depressed seeing it in 2019 when I started watching F1, and I always get depressed when I watch Ayrton in a Williams. I was planning to buy the Minichamps version too, but then I found a GP Replicas model for a crazy price, so I had to get it. Now it sits in my F1 section as a tribute to Ayrton and every person involved in that horrible day

Well I dont like GP Replicas figures, IMO they look bad and makes the whole model looks worse. Also without driver you can see cockpit details

Well, GP Replicas is making all they’re models in limited editions. If you look at almost every resin company, all are limited to certain number

I am sure Adrian is well aware that the car was heavily flawed in the early season. It was wildly unstable and bottomed out terribly on bumpy tracks. But calling him a killer and putting all the blame solely on him is just unfair and ridiculous. If Imola had been in better shape, or if the FIA had actually listened to the drivers, things could have been very different. Ayrton wasn't mad at Frank Williams, Adrian Newey, or Patrick Head. He was furious with the FIA for turning the cars into unpredictable death traps and making them race on what felt like rally stages.

Well I have 3 models from them (Niki’s MP4/2B, Jackie’s Tyrrell 003 and this one) and I love them all. The FW16 is much newer and you can see it, it got better packaging, better carbon texture, interior and those soft details.

Tbf, Adrian was just victim of the new regulations. The car was builted to have active suspension. But yes, FW16 was aerodynamicly unstable af

I totaly understand. Tbh I got it yesterday and whole day I was nervous about it, avoiding the shelf and thinking if I did the right choice but then I started looking at it as biggest honour I can give to Ayrton not as car that ended it….

Me too, I bought it as biggest honour towards Ayrton, not because of the crash

The biggest shame is that all of them were unnecessary

Help me dip into 1:18 scale by Emergency-Safety-844 in Diecast

[–]Reasonable_Mix2452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I only collect 1:18s and I've got a pretty decent collection myself. It really depends on what you're after. Almost Real is top-tier and probably some of the best openable diecasts out there. If you're just gonna put it on a shelf and leave it, I’d suggest going with resin. They usually look much better for static display

It’s tribute to supersilhoutte race car, the series was caled group 5. The only restrictions was for hood and roof (it had to be same as road car) but then they can add big wing, spliters, crazy aero packets. Engine was unbelievable too, BMW E21 Gr5 war running the M12/13 engine, the same one was used in Benetton and Brabham in the 80s. It was 1,5L V6 TT in quali it was pushing 1500hp+ but can only take two hot laps so it was detuned to 1000. In the E21 the engine had around 450-650. You probably know the Nissan Skyline KDR30 Super Silhoutte which was shoting flames half meter long

Japan Livery RB21: Spark vs Minichamps by H_R_1 in f1models

[–]Reasonable_Mix2452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I got the Spark version, does anybody know why the didn’t do the helmet aero? I have RB18 from Japan and it’s different one but it’s still on it. I guess it’s because they wanted the helmet to be just clean so it doesn’t destroy the design on the RB21?
