Bag An RC30 Now, You’ll Save Yourself a Fiver!
As he mentioned in yesterday’s entry, Leigh has continued his 2008 Formula One world tour with a stop in Singapore for this weekend’s Grand Prix action. We’re wondering though whether he has heard the outcome of the Hamilton/Belgium appeal.
Anyway, on with the diecast, and once again, a massive diecast release has happened while Leigh’s out of the office. Today marks the end of a four-year wait with the arrival of Universal Hobbies’ 1:12 Honda RC30 road bike (UH88030). All signs are hopefully good for a soonish release of the Joey Dunlop version (UH88031), but if you’re still deciding which version to go for, you’d better make your minds up quickly before the Universal Hobbies £5 price rise takes effect on the 1st October.
The bike news carries on with AUTOart announcing a new 1:12 scale replica of the Suzuki Katana GSX 1100S (AA12151). Finished in silver, it’s good to see AUTOart are keeping Minichamps on their toes in this area of the diecast market.
We were also sent details of a new announcement from Spark, this being the 2008 Mazda Furai concept car in 1:43 scale (SPK1000). Since the car itself was publicy unveiled earlier on this year, we noticed it attracted some attention on the forum. So we hope that this new announcement means some diecast prayers will be answered!
