Leigh’s Diecast Diary

We received a new delivery from Kyosho today, the highlight undoubtedly being the 1:18 Ferrari 575 GTC in red (KY8391A). It is the last of the three colourways to be released after black and yellow, and looks stunning in a really nice shade of red. Also on the delivery was the next 1:18 1977 Fiat 131 rally car, this one Bernard Darniche’s winning version from the Rally of Corsica (KY8372A).

Finally today, something a bit special for the tractor collectors out there. When I had my ‘tour of northern suppliers’ last week, I came across a Universal Hobbies 1:16 Massey Ferguson 35X ‘Industrial’ in yellow. The box proudly proclaims ‘Special Limited Edition’, and it has never been made available through the normal distribution channels. I had certainly never seen it before. This wholesaler only had seven examples so I snapped them up.

As ever with rare finds like this, I am offering it to diary readers first, to remove the possibility of us over-selling from our website overnight, especially given how few are available. It will cost £59.99 and the code is J2693, so give us a call on 0870 460 3456 if you want to be one of the very few to secure one. Good luck!
