Leigh’s Diecast Diary

We received a Maisto delivery today, which had their two new 1:18 Lamborghini subjects on it. These were the Superleggera in metallic grey (R31149GY) and yellow (R31149Y), and the Murcielago LP640 in orange (R31148O) and yellow (R31148Y).

As you would expect, the 1:18 Gulf Aston Martin DBR9 presentation car (AA80800) has sold extremely well since the end of the Le Mans 24 Hours yesterday. It’s great that AUTOart/Prodrive chose to replicate the 009 car, as that’s the car that secured the team’s second successive GT1 win, making the replica even more special. It’s a bit of a shame that the Villeneuve Peugeot didn’t quite manage the overall win, but you can’t take it away from Kristensen, McNish and Capello for driving every lap on the limit to narrowly secure the victory.

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