Leigh’s Diecast Diary

There were two new announcements today.

The first is an import from our friends across the pond. Greenlight manufacture the 1:18 Indy Racing League replicas, and we have managed to get our hands on 50 examples of Dario Franchitti’s 2007 Indianapolis 500 winning car. All 50 will be signed by Dario himself, the first Scot to win America’s biggest race since Jim Clark in 1965 (SG2007S).

The other release is from Kyosho. For the first time in a while they have announced a new item in their ‘modern Mini’ range, a 1:18 white presentation version of the one-make John Cooper Works Challenge racing series (KY8557W).
