Alfa Romeo Kick C43 #24 G. Zhou Australian GP 2023 Minichamps 1:18 117230124 Resin
1 / 7
Minichamps' 1:18 resin Alfa Romeo Kick C43 carries Zhou Guanyu's #24 at the 2023 Australian Grand Prix. The body is a sealed one-piece casting, so the interest lies in livery print, wing detail and surface finish. A mid-premium F1 replica from the last season of the Alfa Romeo and Sauber partnership, and a natural second chapter after the 2022 C42 cars.

About the Alfa Romeo Kick C43 #24 G. Zhou Australian GP 2023 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: The Minichamps Alfa Romeo Kick C43 1:18 models Zhou Guanyu's #24 at the 2023 Australian Grand Prix. It is a sealed one-piece resin cast, judged on livery print, wing separation and finish. It belongs to the final season of Alfa Romeo's partnership with Sauber, a mid-premium F1 replica.

Zhou Guanyu began 2023 as a returning driver rather than a rookie, and the C43 was the car he took to Melbourne for the Australian Grand Prix. This Minichamps 1:18 captures that second-year version with the Kick branding that appears in its name.

Sealed Construction and Surface Work

The body is a sealed casting, with no moving panels, so the whole judgement falls on the exterior. Resin is the sensible material for a modern Formula 1 shape: it keeps thin edges on the floor and sidepods and holds a clean transition across the engine cover, where a metal body would soften the radius. Weight in the hand is lighter than zinc alloy, concentrated low in the floor. Under a raking lamp, scan the engine cover for evenness of gloss, which is where a good resin casting shows its finish most clearly.

Branding and Print Quality

The Kick name in the title signals a livery dense with sponsor graphics, and print sharpness is the test. Edges should be clean, small text should be readable at close range, and the number 24 should sit squarely on the nose. Mirror housings, halo and wing endplates are the usual weak points on cheaper models; here, check that they remain thin and properly separated. These are the details that justify choosing a Minichamps resin over a basic diecast of the same car.

The Final Alfa Romeo and Sauber Season

A Partnership Nearing Its End

The C43 was the last car of the partnership under the Alfa Romeo name; for 2024 the Sauber team raced under a different identity. That gives the model a small historical weight, because it belongs to the closing chapter of a collaboration that began in 2019. For collectors who like end-of-era pieces, it is a natural last page beside the 2022 C42 cars.

Melbourne and Albert Park

The Australian Grand Prix runs at Albert Park, a circuit set around a lake in Melbourne, and it has long been an early-season fixture. A race-specific model lets you mark one weekend rather than a whole season. It pairs well with the Alpine A523 from the same race, if you want to build a Melbourne 2023 display with a few teams represented.

Fitting It Into a Run

Set beside the 2022 C42 Zhou car, this model shows a driver's progression from rookie to second-year runner, with the same marque badge on a new chassis. At 1:18 it measures roughly 30 cm, so allow shelf depth, and keep it in a closed case away from sunlight. British collectors value tidy sets and original packing, so keep the box. It is a considered mid-premium purchase, and a worthwhile one for a chronological Alfa Romeo shelf.
