1/43 Model Review: 2019 Racing Point RP19 (Minichamps)

Hot off the heels of the Spark release of this model of the Racing Point RP19, the Minichamps version has also landed. 

The first thing that I noticed about the model is how much more vibrant the colours are compared to the Spark model. In terms of the shape of the model, there's very little to choose between the two model makers.

The other very minor difference is the placement of transition of colours from the inside to the outside of the rear wing endplates, and I do prefer the Minichamps attention to detail there. Having said that, there is more detail on the floor on the Spark model.

With not much to choose between the two, the score for both models is the same.
Score: 8/10

Just 150pcs were made for the German model shop of the Bahrain GP version of the car, which I think looks great in the pink box.
