Leigh’s Diecast Diary

It’s Christmas Eve, and we’re still open! There aren’t many of us here, it has to be said, but having used up all of my holiday allowance on F1 trips (it was worth it!), I’m going to be in for the non-Bank Holiday days over Christmas!

Kyosho are also still working; today they announced two new 1:18 replicas of the gorgeous Ferrari 575 GTC, except that these two are racing versions. They are both from the JMB team from the FIA GT Championship, one from Estoril in 2003 (KY8393B), and the other from Donington Park in 2004 (KY8393C). As you can see from the sample photos, they look stunning.

All that remains is to wish all diary readers a happy Christmas and a collectible New Year!

Welcome to the twelfth Leigh’s Diary Vidcast, reviewing all the new diecast replicas that were released last week.

As always, I’ve listed the products below that have been featured in this week’s vidcast. Keep the comments rolling in. You’ll need quicktime installed to view the video on this post.
