Slot Cars
- SCX Lancia Delta Integrale Servia 88 SCX have just released a cracking new livery on their Lancia Delta Integrale. The Catalan team of Salvador Servià and Jordi Sabater were a fixture on the national and European rally circuit in the late 80s with their Camel-sponsored Lancias.
- More SCX New Releases There are three more SCX cars just arrived. They include an Audi R8 GT3 in Valentino Rossi colours, a Mercedes Safety Car and an Audi RS3 that Nathanaël Berthon took to third place in the 2022 World Touring Car Cup.
- Slot.it Audi R8 LMS Evo II – Valentino Rossi Slot.it have announced that the Valentino Rossi edition of their Audi R8 GT3 will be released early in 2025. Probably the main reason why the Italian company chose the Audi as their third GT3 model, this one should sell particularly well.
- New From NSR There are a total of five new releases just arrived from NSR. In addition to the pair of JPS Abarth 500 cars that appeared in the Digest last week, there’s this 1971 Targa Florio Porsche 908/3 and two Mercedes AMG GT3 Evo cars from the 2022 Daytona 24 hours.
- Racing Replicas Revell Corvette Stingray Pete Shepherd has come up with another fabulous commission for a customer. Asked for a Richard Petty inspired livery, this Revell Corvette Stingray was delivered last week.
- Proto Slot Kit Leyland Transporter Another sensational transporter kit shared by Hobbyclassic is the Matra team’s wheels for its dominant 1974 season in the World Endurance Championship. The remaining kits sold out within 24 hours of posting, but keep an eye out for a re-stock.
