Hamilton 08 Showcar..Say No More!

Today is dominated by Minichamps news. To start with, they have announced four new 1:43 2008 F1 showcars; the two McLarens of Hamilton (DC28422P) and Kovalainen (DC28423P), and the two Hondas of Button (DC28416P) and Barrichello (DC28417P). Pre-ordering these will be essential, as showcars often sell out on release. We have also been told that Minichamps expect to be in a position to announce their 2008 F1 race cars in about the middle of May.

Another new Minichamps announcement is the latest subject in the 1:8 Valentino Rossi Helmet Collection. This one will be the version he wore in the 2007 Phillip Island Moto GP, with the mosaic design (PO70896).

It wasn’t just new announcements from Minichamps, as we also received a huge delivery from them today too, with the 1:12 Mick Doohan 1997 Honda NSR 500 (P976101) and the rest of our 1:18 Lewis Hamilton 2007 McLaren MP4/22s (DC2702) on it.

Finally, we also saw CMC’s next massively highly detailed 1:18 release; the 1934 Mercedes-Benz W25 (CMC065).
