WEEKLY NEWS

We have a great selection for you this week with something for most tastes and pockets. Starting with 1:43 die-casts, from Spark we see the Bizarrini Manta concept car, a couple of 1980s F1 and a selection of classic Le Mans subjects including the 1955 winning Jaguar D Type. Schuco have two more Audis for Le Mans collectors, a TT and R8, both course cars. From Bizarre we see the Le Mans practice version of the Rover BRM and a very attractive Allard. There are 250GTOs from Kyosho, complete with engine detail. And from Minichamps there are a variety of subjects ranging from Opel Manta road cars to this magnificent Audi R8 from the Nurburgring 24 Hours.

Staying in 1:43 scale, from Mini Racing we have some new Peugeot rally car kits. SMTS have released hand builts of their Aston Martin DBR1s, following the well received recent kits. Tecnomodel have, at long last, sent through the first of their 2009 Ferrari F430s. From BBR there are two fabulous looking Ferrari 599XXs and equally well finished models of a Ferrai Daytona and a rather unusual looking Koenig Testarossa spider. There is also a new BBR catalogue. There are kits and hand builts from ABC Brianza with a wide range of interesting subjects such as Rita Hayworth’s unique Cadillac and this Alfa Romeo hillclimber.

Also from ABC Brianza we have a 1:18 scale kit of the very elegant 1938 Mille Miglia winning Alfa Romeo. There are more large scale kits with Model Factory Hiro releasing several versions of the Lotus 56 gas-turbine car and, as a little display bonus, a separate kit of the engine all in 1:20 scale. In the same scale, Studio 27 have released Damon Hill’s 1997 Arrows A18 and in 1:12, more 2009 Moto GP decals. There are new decals in a variety of scales from DMC with full livery sets and a number of very useful logo sheets for the spares box. We have a couple of 1:18 die-casts this week too with a 1973 Porsche 2.7 RS from Auto Art and a superbly detailed Bugatti Royale chassis from Bauer.

Last week we were in the process of adding a collection of rare out of production 1:43 kits and they are now all listed. A great many have sold already, so be quick! The new edition of Four Small Wheels had just been collected by the postman at the time of writing, so subscribers can expect that in the mailbox in the next few days.
