About the Scuderia AlphaTauri AT04 #22 Y. Tsunoda 2023 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: The Minichamps AlphaTauri AT04 1:18 is a resin model of Yuki Tsunoda's #22 car from the 2023 Scuderia AlphaTauri season. The body is one sealed casting with no opening parts, so wings, floor edges and sponsor printing carry the detail. A season-long driver and the team's last year under the AlphaTauri name.

Tsunoda is the constant in the AlphaTauri story of 2023: the driver who kept the #22 all year while the second seat changed hands. Minichamps' AlphaTauri AT04 Tsunoda 1:18 reproduces that car in resin, a Formula 1 shell for anyone who wants the full-season version of the team's last year under the AlphaTauri name.

Yuki Tsunoda's AT04 in Cast Resin

Edges That Resin Keeps

A resin F1 body is judged by its smallest features. Look at the trailing edge of the rear wing, the lip of the floor and the leading edge of the front wing: these are the places where casting quality shows. Resin takes tighter tolerances than zinc alloy, so the edges stay thin and straight. The compromise is mass, since the model feels light for its size, and a hard impact can chip it.

A Sealed Shell, Read From the Outside

No part of this model opens. The body is one sealed casting, and that fixes the attention on the surface: paint evenness, colour breaks, print sharpness. Under a lamp, the large flat areas show orange peel or streaks if the finish is weak, and a good finish reads as uniform depth. A shell with no hinges also holds its proportions over the years without any loosening.

Livery and Number Checks

Compare the #22, the driver name and the sponsor placements with reference photographs of the 2023 car. Sponsor logos should be printed flat with clean edges, and tyre sidewall lettering should be legible with a loupe. Wheels should sit square within the bodywork, with a stance that looks level from the side.

Tsunoda, AlphaTauri and the 2023 Season

A Japanese Driver With Honda Ties

Tsunoda, from Japan, came through Honda's junior programme and entered Formula 1 in 2021, so 2023 was his third season. For collectors in Japan and for fans of Japanese drivers elsewhere, a #22 model is a natural centrepiece. He is one of the few Japanese drivers to hold a full-time seat in recent years, which gives the shelf a clear personal storyline beyond the team livery.

The Last AlphaTauri Year

AlphaTauri was Red Bull's sister team, based in Faenza, Italy, and 2023 was its final season under that name before the switch to Racing Bulls. A car in this livery therefore closes a chapter. Because Tsunoda drove all season, his model is the steady companion to the changing second seat, and it pairs with the Nyck de Vries version to show both drivers on the same regulation-fixed shape.

Fitting the AT04 Into a Shelf Plan

At 1:18 this car measures roughly 30 cm nose to tail, so a shelf wants depth, and a lined-up grid of 2023 cars makes an easy theme. Those who buy for the driver will find the #22 a clear, recognisable marker, and those who buy for the team get a final-year livery. Judge the stance, wheel offset and sponsor sharpness against photographs before you decide.

Care for a Resin Display Car

Keep the model out of direct sunlight and away from heat, which can dull paint and fade logos. A closed cabinet keeps dust off the wings, and a soft brush clears what does settle. Always lift it by the floor or the engine cover, never the wings, and it will keep its crisp edges for years.
