Thanks to tomorrow and Monday being Easter public holidays, we are packing as much as possible into two four-day working weeks. Whilst the solitary TrueScale model of an unusually decorated Porsche 911 GT3R from the 2023 Daytona 24hrs didn't cause us to break sweat, the Looksmart delivery of the 1:43 2023 Le Mans winning Ferrari 499P was a different story. To make sure all preordered models were not delayed, we worked late into last night and confirm all have been collected this afternoon by the Royal Mail. The delivery was not just the winner but the sister #50 car too as well as first delivery of the Charles Leclerc Monaco Grand Prix Ferrari SF-23 too...

It was only a small Spark delivery of new models this time around, releases including 1:64 Alfa Romeo C43, some more of the 2023 Le Mans LMP2 grid, Miyata 2023 Super Formula Dallara, pretty Nurburgring 24hrs Konrad Lamborghini, 2022 & 2023 Super GT Gainer Nissans and 2022 Nismo Nissan & Nakajima NSX, DTM Bortolotti Huracan & 1984 2nd placed Spa 24hrs Juma BMW 635 plus Monaco Formula 1 Alpines & the wide bodied version of the Mercedes W14.
As we move to kit releases, we have to bring bad news. Unfortunately, renowned plastic kit manufacturer Ebbro has ceased trading. For the time being there is no news on the future of the various moulds including the two new 1:20 Tyrrell kits that so many of you have been patiently looking forward to.
As delivery of new 1:43 kits become a more and more scarce event, it is very exciting to be able to report on the arrival of two fabulous Formula 1 kits, both from the house of Luca Tameo. The first is under the SilverLine brand and continues the 43rd scale story of the 1969 Formula 1 Ferrari 312. We have stock of the lovely metal kit of the Pedro Rodriguez NART entered car which he placed 5th in the US Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. In the same delivery came the Gerhard Berger Benetton B186 Mexico 1986 winner (also makes the Teo Fabi version) in the Tameo range, another superb metal kit from the 1:43 Formula 1 masters.

The Australian Grand Prix offered a glimmer of hope that this Formula 1 year will not be a Max Verstappen/Red Bull lock out. Carlos Sainz Jnr's victory for Ferrari a remarkable achievement as still not fully recovered from his appendectomy ten days before. The IndyCar money race promised much through the two heats but ultimately produced a flat final dominated by reigning champion Alex Palou.
It is the Safari rally this weekend, always a dusty spectacle. Neuville & Tanak lead the way for Hyundai after today's Super Special. If rally is not your thing, Formula E are in Japan for the first time, the two top tier NASCAR fields race at Richmond and it is the first round of the British GT Championship at Oulton Park.
