yeah maybe, if you can get it at a good price.
I like the fact that they bothered to put the HANS device on his neck for that one, and it looks realistic like what he did at Japan.
either that or this:
this also looks good, but maybe the figure looks a bit dorky. i like the darker paint effect, rather than the 'pinky' look of the other one with him standing in the cockpit.

the one with him standing in the cockpit?
he did that at Suzuka:
but the pitboard graphics on the rear of the box are from Spa
so they've mixed and matched the 2 races to make that model.
its not totally accurate though, because he is standing on the outside of the car, not inside on the seat.
they should have made the figure separate in the box, maybe tied to the back wall with those cable-tie wire things, so the owner can choose to stand it correctly on the outside of the cockpit, or leave it as it is attached to the box.

hmm it could be either one i think. i just played the 2004 review dvd and if you watch at the end of the race. he parks the car just after turn 1, and surrounded by photographers he's standing in the cockpit with his arms raised.
by the way how easy/hard is it applying these decals to the car ?
are they just like stickers you stick-on or do you have to soak them in water,or apply your own adhesive to them?

about the decals, have a look on page 20, i give some detailed instructions. but i'm sure i have also sent you private messages about how to do it, around May??
i had a look on the dvd, and all we see is him bent over in the car, and very briefly wave his fists at Spa:
its a lot different to the model where he clearly stand on the car and raises the arms for quite some time, so IMO its more likely to be Suzuka.
another way to possibly identify which race its from is by looking at the little hot air exits on the sidepods.
at Suzuka he had them on both sides:
but at Spa he had them only on the right-hand sidepod for the race:
so depending how many and on which side the model has these exits, that'll be which race its from.
we need some more close-up pics of the models to see which side they're on.
the one on the leather base with chrome paint only has the hot air exit on its right hand sidepod, so that model is for Spa.
if the model of him standing in the cockpit only has it on the right hand sidepod, it is for Spa too (even though he stood on the car at Suzuka properly), but if it has it on both, then its for Suzuka.
have a look at this model i saw on ebay, its limited, but too expensive:

that sure is a nice one muks. nice touch with the pitboard there!
probably a little more pricey since its been converted to tobacco as well. but yeah way too expensive
as for the hotwheels Mp4-20, like kirk ( i think) pointed out that the Kimi logo on the sidepod is wrong. It doesnt have the West style stripes. I'm gonna assume its the pre-Hungary version. Where West was still a sponsor,and not Johnnie Walker officially. So it wouldnt have the "Kimi Raikkonen" logo, just "Kimi" in the West style.
The hotwheels R25 seems pretty decent. The 100th win version is nice but I think they overdid the dirt and it kinda looks bad due to that.The championship edition looks nice but a bit too expensive for me.
That narrows it down to the Japanese GP F2004
and basic R25
as for the Mp4-20 , think I'll just wait for the minichamps 1:18 version due end of the year.

nice collection there Karan.
here's something for LS (and any other Williams fans):
[cgi.ebay.co.uk]
Minichamps 1:18 Walrus FW26, but with RBS logos on it. is it rare? or a mistake? or PR demo?
UPDATE: it went for £84!!!

my initial thought was a private edited job on the FW26
I scour the internet for Williams merchandise frequently ( believe it or not ) and i've never seen that version before.
One of the members over at Dragon Racing frequently customizes his minichamps models and converts them to different livirys quite easily.
Looks like a similar job to me, but i could be wrong
