More and More Minichamps…

posted in Diecast, Other Cars, Formula 1 |

Minichamps announced a few new 1:43 releases today, in the form of the leading BMWs from the 2007 World Touring Car Championship. There will be replicas of Andy Priaulx (P072601), Jorg Muller (P072602), Augusto Farfus (P072603), and Alex Zanardi (P072604).

Minichamps also announced a 1:18 replica of Sebastien Vettel’s BMW F1.07 from this year’s American Grand Prix (DC2710V).

Meanwhile, we received some new deliveries too. From Amalgam, we saw the 1:12 2007 McLaren MP4/22 nosecone (AML706). It comes with #1 and #2 decals included, so that you can choose whether your nosecone will be Fernando Alonso’s or Lewis Hamilton’s.

We also received Trofeu’s 1:43 two car Ford Sierra British Touring Car set, commemorating Andy Rouse and Steve Soper’s famous battle from Brands Hatch in 1988 (TR002). It’s actually quite a dynamic piece, with the blurry background and position of the cars really giving it a sense of speed.

    Minichamps haven’t announced any plans to do the Australia special in 1:18 so far, but with the 2006 testcar they didn’t announce any plans to do it in 1:18 until the 1:43 version was released.
