Diecast model vehicles by Minichamps, Germany, 1990s onward

Minichamps is a die-cast model vehicle manufacturer founded in 1990 in Aachen, Germany. The company grew out of the Danhausen trade catalogue of miniature vehicles and specially made Danhausen diecast releases during the 1970s.

The first Paul's Model Art diecast car made by Minichamps was created in 1990; a 1:43 scale GTC Audi V8 driven by Hans-Joachim Stuck. It was the German Touring Car Champion in 1990. By 1995 Minichamps was manufacturing more than 110 different castings in several hundred different racing liveries and three different scales – and sponsoring real racing cars.

Minichamps has since expanded its range to include a wide variety of vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, and aircraft. The company also produces a line of high-end resin models, as well as limited-edition and promotional models. Minichamps also offers collectors the option to purchase unassembled kits, allowing them to build and more... customize their own models.
