The Day Belongs To Kyosho
Kyosho were very busy today, announcing several new subjects that we should see in early 2010.
The most exciting replicas are the 1:18 1959 Morris Mini Minors, including the first ever production Mini in white (KY8105W). The other colourway is red (KY8105R).
Kyosho also announced two new 1:18 Le Mans Ferrari 250 GTO cars. They are both from the 1963 running of the race, and are of the #25 car that finished fourth (KY8434A), and the #20 car (KY8434B).
Finally in 1:18, Kyosho have also announced two colourways of the Audi R8 V10; metallic black (KY9216BK), and silver (KY9216S).
There were also some new 1:43 announcements from Kyosho, in the form of three Nissan R390 GT1s from the 1998 Le Mans 24 Hours. These are the #30 (KY03421A), #31 (KY03421B) and #32 (KY03421C) cars.
In terms of new releases, Amalgam today released their latest 2009 Formula One nosecone replica, of the BMW F1.09 (AML927). As with the Brawn version (AML924), the race number is too high up the car to feature on the nosecone replica, so you can happily buy it regardless of whether you are a Robert Kubica or a Nick Heidfeld fan!
The last bit of news today is that we’ve had a day’s delay on AUTOart’s long-awaited 1:18 Koenigsegg CCX in black (AA79002), so we will now see that tomorrow instead.
