MINICHAMPS and PAUL'S MODEL ART models are setting new standards for diecast automobile model accuracy, production quality and value for money.
The company formed just about three years ago, grew from a long established toy and model store in Aachen, Germany, near the Dutch border. The company became famous for the Metal 43 and 24 and Century handbuilt models, and for the 'Danhausen Catalog' - a huge illustrated listing of kits and built models from around the world. And now it is well publicized by it's logo on the sides of real race cars. It sponsors many marques, including in 1995 the F1 Benetton of world champion Michael Schumacher and in 1996, his Ferrari. (See the photo of our General Manager with Michael and his car which we took in New York)!
Using a combination of western design and management and the much cheaper labor available in China, the Minichamps range of super quality diecast models is growing very fast.
It presently includes models in 1/64th, 1/43rd, 1/24th and 1/18th scale of racing cars (F1, Indy, F3, DTM, Porsche Cup, DTT etc), of street cars (particularly Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Alfa, BMW, Opel etc) and exotic cars (Jaguar XJ220, McLaren F1, Bugatti EB110, Ferrari etc). There are beautiful motor-cycle models too. And even a very popular 1/18th scale model of the 1944 US Army Jeep. In their future program are hundreds more, including models of American and British cars.
