Benetton Renault B195 Schumacher by Minichamps

Benetton Renault B195
Michael Schumacher
1995

Scale: 1/43
Ref: 510954316
Europe GP
Limited Edition: 1995 pcs








When Schumacher started to win F1 titles his team was the colourful Benetton. First a Ford power engine in 94 and, in 95, a Renault V10 engine would take the 2nd win. The fantastic reproduction by Minichamps can´t let no one indifferent, like it or not Schumacher's way. This is the Europe GP reproduction so the detailed tires are very important. Another positive point is that there are no Mild Seven lettering on the real car because the Europe GP was in German ground. Fast recovery Michael.

Renault R25 Alonso (Belgian GP Conversion) by Minichamps and F'Artefice

Mild Seven Renault F1 R25

Minichamps and F'Artefice Decals
Scale: 1/43
Ref: 400050005 (Minichamps) and FR-0003 / 1050 (F'Artefice)









With the decal sheet it's possible to make two conversions, the Belgian GP and the British GP model. On both GPs Alonso finished in 2nd place. These decorations are also known as Dragon, in the Belgian GP, and Flowers on the British. On the front wing the decals are a bit greater than needed and the curves on the side pod was not an easy task.

Renault R24 Alonso (Mild Seven Conversion) by Minichamps and Tabu Design

Minichamps and Tabu Design Decals
Scale: 1/43
Ref: 400040008 (Minichamps) and 43004 (Tabu)

















With the decal sheet it's possible to make two conversions, its included the Hanjin sponsor decal used in the China GP (pos. 9, 11). It's also possible to make the never released Villeneuve's model. Hope to get a spare Trulli model to convert it on the Villeneuve's model.

The most difficult for me was removing the decals on Alonso's helmet and applying the Mild Seven decal near the pitot tube. There is another after market decal sheet that have the Mild Seven decal (pos. 4) on the side pod in better proportions, I think that Tabu make it very small.
