MINICHAMPS 1:6 - DUCATI 998 F01 - NEIL HODGSON - 2002 WORLD SUPERBIKES WSB HUGE!
For sale is a very rare 1:6 Minichamps Ducati 998 F01 driven by British motorbike racer Neil Hodgson in the 2002 World Superbike championship. He came 3rd in the championship and was consistently in the points and on the podium that year!
Firstly not to be mistaken for the 1:12 smaller scale, this is twice as big and a brilliant looking model! Fantastic detail and with the stand still attached!
Condition wise, the box is yellowed in the plastic, this can be seen quite obviously if displayed on the shelf in the box. The box itself has some shelf wear and marks around. Most noticeable is one side where it was previously opened from the flap not being completely flush when put back, so will need some readjusting in the card. However I think this will be harder said then done due to the creasing created because of it!
There is sticky remains on one of the side from a price sticker and another random sticker was left on as shown in one of the pictures. The poppers that hold the plastic in place do work the initial function but this needs to be set correctly, which takes a couple of goes to do so!
Model wise it does appear to be complete but I’m not an expert on bikes personally, so if you see anything your unsure of or you think may be incorrect, please just message prior and I will do my best to photo anything you are unsure about!
Under the light I can see a couple of marks at the top near one of the sponsors. I can also see some very faint paint bubbles but this is when studied directly under a bright light. However it’s almost impossibly seen without being under light, so I’m confident it can be displayed with no fear of it showing up otherwise!
To summarise, it is a fantastic looking model and the detail is crazy and I certainly appreciate and justify the quality to this!
