About the Porsche 911 996 GT3 Cup #17 R. Westbrook Team Morellato Porsche Michelin Supercup 2006 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:43 diecast Porsche 996 GT3 Cup carries R. Westbrook's Team Morellato livery from the 2006 Porsche Michelin Supercup. The body is a sealed casting with no opening panels. It is a used model, and the box shows traces of storage.

The Porsche Michelin Supercup ran as a support series to Formula 1 through the 2000s, and Minichamps documented individual driver liveries from that grid in far more depth than most one-make series ever receive at 1:43.

Minichamps' Diecast Approach to the Supercup Grid

The body is a sealed zinc alloy casting with no doors or lids that open, standard construction at this scale, which lets the cup-spec rear wing and front air dam hold crisp, unbroken lines rather than compromise for a hinge point. The Morellato and supporting sponsor graphics run across the doors and rear quarters, and because the livery uses a mix of italic script and logo blocks, checking registration along the curved rear haunches is the sharpest test of the tampo work. As a used piece, expect honest handling marks consistent with previous ownership, and the outer carton carries traces of storage rather than pristine factory condition.

Collecting a Specific Supercup Season

At roughly 10cm, this occupies a modest footprint that makes assembling an entire Supercup grid from a single season practical in a way a larger scale never would be. Displayed with other 2006 season liveries, the identical GT3 Cup silhouette across different cars turns a shelf into a genuine record of that year's grid rather than a scattered assortment. Given the used condition and marked box, it suits a collector prioritising completeness of a specific season over pristine individual examples, and for that purpose it does its job well.
