Notes: Niki’s 1st championship. Sold under Paul’s Model Art branding, this 1:18 scale of the 312T features removable cowling to reveal engine and internal chassis. While not as detailed as the Exoto version of the 312T, it compares favourable given  the Exoto usually resells at 3x the price of the Minichamps model.
