Leigh’s Diecast Diary

As you faithful readers are aware, Leigh is currently heading to the first stop of his 2009 Formula One tour in Monaco this weekend. With Barrichello and Rosberg topping both of the practice timesheets, hopefully that’s a good sign for an exciting race!

Back in the equally-glamourous location of Guildford, we heard that Norev has confirmed a 1:18 replica of Fernando Alonso’s Renault R29 (DC2907NV). We’re looking forward to seeing how it compares next to the Minichamps version (DC2907) when they both come through.

 Another hot announcement today was a half scale replica of Jenson Button’s 2009 helmet (BRW918). That should make up quite an outstanding display with the other Brawn replicas!
