Amalgam has released a 1:8 scale of the Red Bull RB5 with which Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel are challenging for both the 2009 Drivers' and Constructors' Championships.
The stunningly 1:8 scale replica - which is around 56 cm long (22 inches to us old timers) is available in both the No 14 (Webber) or No 15 (Vettel) version.
In the hands of the German, the RB5 has won the Chinese and British rounds of the 2009 championship while Mark Webber drove his to his maiden F1 win at the Nurburgring.
As we've said before, to describe Amalgam's 1:8 scale cars as models is an understatement, much like saying The Godfather is a movie or Hamlet a play. These are works of art, masterpieces, and we at Pitpass talk from experience, the proud owners of two 1:8 scale cars (both red) and a 1:1 steering wheel (black and silver).*

* We await their release of the 156 Sharknose and Gulf Porsche 917 with bated breath.
