Leigh’s Diecast Diary

24 days until Christmas! I can’t believe December has rolled round again so quickly.

Minichamps have started the week off with their latest new delivery, with all the new releases in 1:43 scale.

Continuing their impressive efforts with getting the 2008 F1 grid out, we now have David Coulthard’s Red Bull RB4 (DC28409) and Nico Rosberg’s Williams FW30 (DC28407) available from stock. From classic F1, we have Nelson Piquet’s 1978 McLaren M23 (P784329), and Mauricio Gugelmin’s 1992 Jordan 192 (P920033).

The latest DTM car is Gary Paffett’s 2008 Mercedes C-Class (P083707), while for road cars the new subjects are the 1976 Jaguar XJ Series II (P130402) and the 1990 Honda Civic (P161501), both in red.

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