AUTOart’s DTM Cars Scream Into Our Warehouse!
Well, at least Raikkonen scored one more point than he did in Turkey! (That’s a total of one, by the way!) Only just though, I was sat at Luffield, and Timo Glock nearly got him there on the last lap!
We received the new AUTOart delivery today, with their long-awaited 1:18 DTM Mercedes C-Class replicas on it. And believe me, it was worth the wait, as they look fantastic! Especially the Mika Hakkinen 2007 version in the carbon fibre livery (AA80732). Also released were Bernd Schneider’s 2007 car (AA80730), and Bruno Spengler’s 2008 example (AA80731).
That wasn’t all though; also released were the 1:18 Lamborghini Espada in gold (AA74504), the 1:18 BMW Z4 from the ADAC Cup (AA80649), and the 1:12 Suzuki Katana (AA12151).
Alas, still no Koenigseggs from AUTOart, and the word is that they won’t be on the July container either. Surely we will see at least one of the colourways released soon?
Another release that was a big deal for me was the first batch of SMTS’s 1:43 white metal model of Jack Brabham’s 1966 Brabham BT19 (SMTS038). This is the ‘missing’ Formula One World Champion, and means that, after 15 years, my 1:43 Formula One World Champions collection is now finally complete! Woohoo!
