Added this one to the collection recently to replace Nico Rosberg's car I already had (now for sale, absolutely mint, PM me if interested). The flag was loose in the box when it was delivered, so I had a play around to see if I could come up with something a little more realistic looking. Not sure which I prefer?

This is the original flag...

And this is what I made myself...

Nice. You did well with the flag

[DanGB]

Thanks. Here's an old one, from Jenson's troublesome second season in F1. I wish someone did a decal sheet to convert it to full tobacco livery, it looks so plain like this.

Love the colour!

Nice collection. I collect F1 as well. Your pics of the Brawn re-release have sealed the deal for me. Have to get one now. Any chance for more pics of the 1/5 Kubica?

Thanks for the comments. The Brawn is a nice model, probably worth getting one before they sell out.

I do have some more pictures of the Amalgam, but I've sold that model now. Alas, the repair costs were way beyond what I could afford to spend on it, so it had to go to a new home.

I love the look of this car, and especially the colour. The Elite is a good model, though some of the finishing is a little rough around the edges compared to a Minichamps or Spark F1 car.

Nice collection! Nice photos as well!

First post for a while. I picked up the last 1:18 I needed for my Jenson Button collection from CK's Black Friday sale recently.

While Fernando Alonso was busy in America contesting the 2017 Indy 500, Jenson was drafted into his seat to race the Monaco Grand Prix. Nice to have a car in the collection from these new regulations - wider cars, bigger wings, much fatter tyres.
