Are the mini champ f1 models that arnt specific to a certain race the ones that have the clear cases? And if so, do the models from a certain race have the box like the one featured in the vid?

It depends. In the past most minichamps were window box. Then they started making resin models and those come in big black boxes. So general rule is window is diecast, black box is resin. Then CK Model Cars makes these race specific clamshell boxes that are considered limited edition but generally Minichamps will release the same model and race variant as the CK in a “regular” box. So “limited edition” is a bit misleading in my opinion.

I was really thinking about getting a W14 in 1:18 scale. Seeing this closely, this looks amazing. Really nice for a Minichamps Diecast model, especially the matte black. I noticed Minichamps produces mostly Red Bull and Mercedes in diecast. Probably because they are more popular and diecast is cheaper than resin (at least I think that way) I did however already get the Spark 1:43 test car of Mick Schumacher (idk why but I had to continue my Mick collection)

Go for it. This one is awesome. The Merc is the most unique on the grid in 2022 and 2023...so I love it. Minichamps does a really good job on this one. I would be curious to see a Spark version. May pick up a GR version just to see how it is, though I prefer diecast. I think you are right on the diecast for RB and Merc. The mold probably lasts longer so they can pump out a million versions as they do for nearly all of Max's wins. Maybe in Resin the mold does not last as long so it is good for a few versions? Would be interesting to know. I think Minichamps will make the Mick in 1/18th also. Schumacher is my guy so I too pick up Mick's cars. I met him briefly at a race back in 2019. Super nice kid so I am a fan.

@@mycarcave6214I think I'm definitely getting one! I am leaning towards the Bahrain GP car of Russell. I really loved the green helmet and accents and still prefer that over the regular blue So that would be a nice addition for my collection Should release next month

Is the underfloor of those 2023 cars all the same?

Generically the are the same. There are subtle differences from one season to the next. Those differences are more obvious on the topside. I will try remember to show the underside more in my videos going forward.

Initially Mercedes and Hamilton with the black liveries were making a political statement of which I hate to see in sports. In 2023, that was not the case. I do however love the black finish. The Petronas blue/ green looks great on contrast. I think Mini Champs makes a great car and outer box. The base being cardboard is disappointing and even worse in 1/43 scale despite the acrylic jewel cover. I do want to get this model by Spark in 1/43 scale.

Yes, I prefer politics to stay out of sports. I want a "free" space where I am not bombarded by political points of view. That said the black does look nice and I am a bit disappointed in the 2024 car livery but will have to see in person before I make too much judgement. As a Ferrari fan, it is hard to admit but the Merc is super cool looking. I love the "canons" down the side. I think the 2024 Red Bull will be my favorite of the 2024 lot.
