Leigh’s Diecast Diary

It would seem that the Minichamps monthly release schedule is dead, as today we received a release list from them that again only covered what we will see in a week’s time.

There were some gems on it though. We are finally going to see the 2006 F1 Hondas in 1:18 scale for both drivers, Jenson Button (DC2612), and Rubens Barrichello (DC2611).

There will also at long last be the second release in the 1:8 Valentino Rossi helmet collection, a good eight months after we saw the first release. This new one will be his helmet from the 2005 Valencia Grand Prix (PO50886), also known as the ‘White Zoo’ as it has different animals painted all over it!
