About MINICHAMPS: Germany based company has its manufacturing done in China. “When Paul’s Art entered the die cast arena in the early 1990s, the accuracy and quality of their product forced other manufacturers to improve their quality and value in order to compete. PMA models have excellent paint finishes and accurate details such as good armaments and door handles. The Models generally come packaged in a cardboard sleeve containing a plastic display box, to which the model is mounted with a screw”
