The COVID crisis has caused delays as we are all well aware but we are seeing more and more coming through as transport is eventually arriving from China and restrictions are being eased in other countries. In Germany, Minichamps is one maker who has seen a gap in supply and the backlog has eventually forced the flood gates open! Also from Germany, Autocult and associated brands have several new releases of typically unusual subjects. One German-based distributor who has managed to keep going throughout is KK Scale with its own range and the CMR brand with loads here too. For Indycar collectors, we have a second shipment in as many weeks from Replicarz in America.
