Leigh’s Diecast Diary

Fresh from getting completely soaked at the Rockingham BTCC yesterday, it was good to start the week with a brand new Minichamps delivery!

‘The big one’ was undoubtedly the Valentino Rossi 1:12 2007 Jerez victory riding figure (PO79146), as we had built up hundreds of pre-orders for that over the last 12 months.

From Formula One, there was Nick Heidfeld’s 1:43 2006 Hungarian GP BMW F1.06 (DC26416H), and from endurance racing there was the 1970 Le Mans #3 Porsche 917L of Larrouse and Kauhsen (P706103).

We also received a new delivery from Spark, headlined by the 1:43 Herbert/Gachot/Weidler Mazda MX-R01 from Le Mans 1992 (SPK798), and the 1950 Aston Martin DB2 coupe in green (SPK581).
