Leigh’s Diecast Diary

We received another sample today, of the long-awaited 1:12 Vincent Black Shadow from Minichamps (Product Code - P134500). As with the 1:12 Rossi 2007 Yamaha sample a month ago, it was encouraging to see that it arrived complete in its ‘proper’ box and looking basically finished. Hopefully this means that we will see the delivery of it in a couple of months or so.

Spark announced a few new releases, the highlight being this year’s Le Mans winning Audi R10 in 1:18 scale (Product Code - SPA180016). All of these can be found in the ‘2007 Announcements’ category.

Finally, we received some preview images from Mattel of some of their forthcoming 1:18 Formula One releases, which you can now check out on our website. These are Lewis Hamilton’s McLaren MP4/22 (Product Code - DC2702M), Kimi Raikkonen’s Ferrari F2007 (Product Code - DC2706), Alex Wurz’s Williams FW29 (Product Code - DC2717), the Schumacher Monza special (Product Code - DC2605M), and the Schumacher Sao Paulo special (Product Code - DC2605SP).
