Leigh’s Diecast Diary

Today Universal Hobbies announced their next 1:16 tractor, and it looks like being one of their most exciting subjects yet. This is no reworked tooling with four big wheels, this is the Nuffield Universal 4 (J2715)! We hope to see it released in early November.

We also saw the release of CMC’s next highly detailed 1:18 replica, which is the Ferrari 250 GT Competizione (CMC077). It looks beautiful, and more than measures up to the levels of detail that we have come to expect from CMC today.

Welcome to the Diecast Legends Podcast, which brings you the latest releases in the world of diecast models. This week, we look at the newest offerings from Minichamps, AUTOart and Spark. Keep the comments rolling in. You’ll need quicktime installed to view the video on this post.
