*A SELECTION OF THE LATEST DIECAST MODEL RELEASES AS CHOSEN BY THE DIECAST TEAM
POCKETBOND
Trojan Personnel Wagon
PRICE £4 LIMIT NOT SPECIFIED SCALE 1/76 REF NO EM76690
Here’s a simple but attractive replica of a real work horse. The vehicle’s no-nonsense stature is reproduced well, and the paint finish is good and easy on the eye.
MAISTO
1970 Corvette
PRICE £16.99 LIMIT NOT SPECIFIED SCALE 1/24 REF NO 31202
A well-executed metallic blue paint job and respectable engine detail are the main plus-points of this fetching Stingray, which should excite fans of American muscle cars. Its interior is well-appointed, and high-chrome wheels and trim, opening doors and decent printing make this good value for those on a budget.
NOREV
Lola Aston Martin LMP1 Le Mans
PRICE £47.99 LIMIT NOT SPECIFIED SCALE 1/18 REF NO 182760
Few colour schemes impress as much as those depicting Gulf branding, and this 2009 racer wears the markings very well. Its carbon fibre tail is realistic, the brakes look good through the gloss black wheels and the red seatbelts stand out from the dark cockpit. This 007 car is definitely licenced to thrill!
WSI
Liebherr LTM1050-3.1 Mobile Crane, Limited Edition
PRICE £183 LIMIT NOT SPECIFIED SCALE 1/50 REF NO 9881
This Holler liveried release is the latest custom painted version from WSI of this model. With a fully functional undercarriage with extending outriggers, tilting cab and extending telescopic boom, the realism and functionality is fantastic with a quality paint finish and beautifully reproduced graphics.
