Leigh’s Diecast Diary

A new item has crept onto Minichamps’ weekly release schedule for next week, Fernando Alonso’s winning Renault R26 from last year’s British Grand Prix in 1:43 scale (DC26401GB).

If you want Kyosho’s stunning model of the 1:18 black Ferrari 575 GTC testcar (KY8392A), you should order soon, as we don’t have many examples left and heard today that it has now been discontinued, so once we run out that’s it. A similar version will be released which will be a ‘standard’ black car, so it will not have the testcar markings of the current example such as the Pirelli logos and the yellow Ferrari strip across the top of the windscreen.
