  Finished with the country series... lets move on to the Retirement series.
  Starting with his last win at China...
  This is a really good model by hot wheels, intermediate tyres, very different body work and VERY nice tyre covers and something in the rear wing..

  The final car is the Brazil 2006 model... his last ever F1 race (since he would losing at the Race of Champions)

  What is really under side of the helmet...
  
  
  
  A few things to note.. I'm aware of very limited editions of Brazil and Shanghai models with 200 each but I do not want to collect them because they are exactly the same thing as the normal ones so no point hunting for them.
  
  Also with this.. I end the Schumi series for which I have fully completed...
  Next week.. comparing real f1 cars with models or lousy hot wheels 2007 WDC? You decide....

  Hey Nighteye, is that in 1/43 scale? And where did you get the West decals?
  
  And I guess yeekin and nighteye has already seen this:
  
• nighteye

  27 Oct 07, 13:13

  Yes, it is 1/43 scale. I got my decals from Hobbylink Japan.

  gp3: nice model!!! isit released oredi ya???
  
  nighteye: im interested in buying ferrari barcode decals too for f2007... btw, how u purchase from tat website? u use credit card transaction? how long u have to wait for the item to arrive?

  Fresh off the plane and running out fast.. so get yours ASAP.
  
  This year's WDC at his first race
  Hotwheel's quality is down on this one... but at 20 bucks more ex than the normal one... quite a ok deal. The lousy part is the helmet paint, and the winglet paint. This is a race worn model evidenced by the worn tyres but no black dirt marks on the bodywork... looks fishy to me

  That one... hopefully just before Xmas
  The other model which nighteye mentioned.. just before December...
  
  I can't show both of them because I don't have them yet... but soon soon...
  
  Decals... get them from Jacky's, although not in stock yet. I put off getting them from Canada since a Friend is going there...asking him to get something else for me hopefully
