TGIF











New 1:18 Arrivals this week. Quite a few new from
Autoart and if American Muscle or drag cars fit your
theme, Auto World has quite a few new releases as well.












New 1:43 Arrivals this week.  Included is the latest
Ferrari transporter set by Brumm. With the additional
BRGS04 this entire diorama scene is possible. Cool
stuff from our friend Rio at Brumm.














Do you want to collect the 1:43 Indy winners from
Spark? Well, the first one is arriving next week. It's
the '66 Lola T90 as driven to victory by Graham Hill.
Best to get an order in now and avoid missing out.
Want to see all the models arriving next week? Cruise
our "Coming Soon" category. 












Also arriving next week is the long awaited
1:18 Lotus 78 of Mario Andretti by TSM.
Pre-orders are strongly suggested on this one.

OK, good weekend to all. Heat wave headed for VT.
We are supposed to see some 40's. Oooo, beach weather
finally!

What color was the Marmon Wasp?















Let the controversy begin? Or shall we say continue?
What color was the Marmon Wasp? Of course our original
1:18 release was produced based on the restored version as
the car sits today at the IMS museum. This is the car that most
people know and associate as the Marmon Wasp.
But is it correct?













After exhausting research, consulting many Indy historians,
and listening to our customers we have decided to produce
a 1:18 version that we believe will replicate the car as it
looked on race day. The rear stinger will have a down sweep
to it, the car will be a burnt orange color, white tires, and
included will be a realistic driver figure of Ray Harroun.
Only 600 being produced, pre-order or read more here. 

More Indy news coming soon!
