Try the EXOTICAR MODEL GALLERY.
They've got the Minichamps Formula 1's.
I believe it's www.exoticar.com (or something like that)
Good prices, too!

I'm afraid I'm going oof topic, but
What exactly is a 'die-cast' model?
It sounds like someone has been throwing paint at them.

It's a metal casting process, first used for toy cars by
Dowst Brothers (Tootsietoys) around 1910. The metal is usually a zinc
alloy. Pre-WWII diecasts often had impurities in the metal which caused
"metal fatigue" -- the metal eventually cracked or crumbled into dust.
That problem persists with some newer models, like Russian toys from the
'70s.
Most of the famous toy and model cars of the present and recent past are
diecast: Dinky Toys, Matchbox, Corgi, Spot-On, Hot Wheels, Johnny
Lightning, Tootsietoys, Solido, Majorette, Bburago, etc.

They have a web address: www.replicarz.com
Good, fast service with very reasonable prices. They are the sole
distributers in the USA for Senna diecasts.

My favorite Minichamps source has been The Motorsports Collector outside
Chicago. Try 1.800.722.8630 or 1.888.43MODEL. I collect 1/43 (just got
Schumacher's 1996 Monza Ferrari), but they carry the 1/18 items too.

Die-cast, i.e cast in a die. They make moulds and pour molten metal into
them. When it cools they just pop it out, paint it, and put stickers on
it.

Thanks to all who answered my question.
I seem to have confused die and dye. I thought it was some kind of
painting process.
Thanks again,

Note: It's not always stickers that are applied! Many die-cast models
are painted (my company uses a Dupont automotive brand) and then receive
very sophisticated screen print graphics - often a 4 color process that
looks close to being photographic.
No decals at all here!
