There
is great news for 1:43 kit builders. We have a great collection of 1:43
resin/metal rarities from Provence Miniatures, Provence Moulage,
Renaissance, March Models, Starter, MCM, AMR, SLM 43, Annecy Miniatures, BBR,
JPS, TW, SMTS, Trajectoire & AxelR. Please read the descriptions carefully
as a small number have been painted and need repainting and there are a couple missing decals. Images will be updated later (if there is anything left by then!).
Also in
43rd scale, Ixo has just the one new model to shout about but it has become
something of a modern day racing icon, the 2023 Le Mans Porsche 911 RSR-19
of Project 1/AO decorated as a cartoon dinosaur giving it the nickname
"Rexy".

With last weekend also being a slow one for a bit of motor sport, we look to this coming Saturday and Sunday to get the juices flowing. It is, of course, the Japanese Grand Prix and we have seen special liveries previewed by Red Bull, Haas and Sauber which we are sure will be modelled in the fullness of time. We also have the intriguing prospect of Yuki Tsunoda now installed in the second RB21. How will he do compared to Vestappen and to his predecessor Liam Lawson? Let's hope that Lawson revels in the performance of the Racing Bull and reminds the good doctor of his talent. It is also the first round of the ELMS, the Barcelona 4hrs and it will be no surprise to learn there's a NASCAR race too. Crikey do those boys and girls work hard!
