Yes.
Nice, I have MP4/4 to 8 plus FW14.
Good stuff, don't get to see the Marlboro decals too often.

It's a Minichamps. These are expensive because they are no longer made.
However, I believe Minichamps has recently released '93 Senna's MP4/8 #8 car, so the going rate for those are not as bad.

The earlier MP4s (Honda powered) go for $200+ and up. 
The later models that were powered by Ford are sub $200.

Very nice...
Id love to find one.:frown: This must be a pre-order item. I'm losing hope.
FYI - there's a gas station (yes, you read that correctly) near the Nurburgring that has the largest collection of scale car models that I've ever seen. There were two examples of this very Minichamps MP4/5 - at least there were a few weeks ago.
I don't know the URL of the gas station or if even they have one but they're there.

Yeah, I have Senna's MP4/6 and FW16 with Marlboro & Rothmans livery and actually got good deals on both (< $100) but if you want the MP4/4 or MP4/5B with tobacco branding you are going to pay a pretty penny. Even finding the Honda RA106 with Lucky Strike livery is a $250+ proposition and finding Schumacher's Benetton B195 with both Mild Seven and Bitburger branding is next to impossible.

This is a Fujimi kit; Tamiya makes 1/20 McLaren Senna kits as well. I'm not sure which model kit is better. BTW, $85+ is way too high for these kits. You can get them much cheaper.
I'm building a F1 garage from scratch for the model. I'm almost done:
WHOA! Garage from scratch is impressive!!
That is beautiful!! I especially like the pictures above, showing the garage.

Wow! That is damned realistic!
That is impressive. It toom me a minute to noticed this is a model. The ceiling lights through me off!!!!
Is the driver removable? It looks kinda funny with him setting in the car while in the garage. Of course, I do that alot in my car while in my garage.:redface: LOL
