Introducing Diecast On A Whole New Scale!

Today Spark announced a new 1:87 (that’s right, 1:87!) Le Mans Winners collection. The reasoning behind it is that collectors are starting to run out of options in terms of finding room to house all of their diecast replicas (I know I am!), so why not make the replicas smaller?

Initially Spark have announced 12 Le Mans winners in this new collection, which can all be found at the top of our ‘New Announcements’ category. I think it’s a very interesting concept, and am looking forward to the first few releases to see how they ‘measure up’ (boom boom!) to Spark’s 1:43 replicas.

Not to be outdone by Spark, IXO announced a new subject for their 1:43 Le Mans Winners collection. It is the 1932 Alfa Romeo 8C of Sommer and Chinetti (LM1932).

Finally, Minichamps announced another couple of 1:43 2008 F1 showcars in the two Williams-Toyotas, of Nico Rosberg (DC28407P), and Kazuki Nakajima (DC28408P).
