First 2009 diecast releases revealed!
Today Minichamps confirmed their January 2009 releases.
The second week of 2009 sees several 2008 F1 cars released. In 1:18 scale there will be Nick Heidfeld’s BMW F1.08 (DC2803) and Heikki Kovalainen’s McLaren MP4/23 (DC2823), while in 1:43 we will see Rubens Barrichello’s Honda RA108 (DC28417) and Giancarlo Fisichella’s Force India VJM01 (DC28421).
The following week we will see Robert Kubica’s 1:18 BMW F1.08 (DC2804), leaving Adrian Sutil’s 1:43 Force India VJM01 (DC28420) as the only ‘standard’ 2008 F1 car still to be released. Kubica’s BMW is close to being a sell-out on release though, so don’t think it will be plentifully available once it hits these shores!
The third week of the schedule (the fourth week of January) sees the nest Valentino Rossi 1:12 bike released, his 2001 Honda RC211V summer test bike (PO17946). We will also see the 1:43 two car Quantum Of Solace set of the Aston Martin DBS and Alfa Romeo 159 (P121300).
For the last week of the schedule we will see the next 1:18 Bentley, the Azure in Metallic Blue (PG139501), and the next 1:8 Valentino Rossi helmet, his colourful lid from Phillip Island 2007 (PO70896).
All in all, a pretty good start to the year for new diecast releases!
