Subscribe To 4SW Weekly Newsletter

All of this week's new arrivals, re-stocks & sale items are detailed in the FSW Weekly #30/2021 PDF here!

 

To get things going this week, for rally fans there’s a great selection of new releases in diecast from Ixo, with Hyundai and Toyota team transporters in 2019 liveries and several R5 cars all in 1:43 and in 1:18, a look back to the Group A era with Escort Cosworths from the 1993 Tour de Corse and Lancia Integrales from Portugal 1990. Spark’s latest shipment also includes rally machinery from the Dakar and tarmac events. GT3s (and Lamborghinis in particular) feature heavily with some great decorations. As the 2021 Le Mans race draws close, the flow of 2020 subjects arriving has increased and for Formula 1 fans we see this year’s pair of Aston Martins.

Ferrari 355 Berlinetta 1994 Red - Reference BBRC009A

 

For Le Mans collectors there are some unusual hand built model subjects released by GCAM with cars from the 1950s and 1990s and also, due to a cancelled order (thanks Brexit!) we have a couple of rare pieces built by our Studio on ReStart kits. BBR too has new hand builts this week, the focus being on road cars with Alfa Romeo’s Giulia GTA in a striking metallic red and one of the prettiest Ferraris ever built, the F355 from 1994.

 

Also on a road car theme, more resincast releases this week come from Neo with a 1985 AMG Mercedes (when such machines were real street sleepers) and an extremely elegant Rolls Royce Phantom from 1934. From a similar era, Autocult’s new releases include an imposing Horch open tourer and, winding the clock forward a couple of decades, a unique Porsche concept from 1957. Sister brand Avenue 43 also has 1950s subject matter with a Skoda limousine built for use by senior Czech officials and for the concept car collectors out there, very distinctive subjects from Volvo and Oldsmobile.

If you missed it, here is the previous edition of FSW Weekly, the current Future Production listings, Sale Department and our Rarities Department too.

For this weekend’s motorsport we’ll be at Mallory Park for a bit of club racing and it’s also the Silverstone classic. If that’s too far away or too exciting, there’s also the Hungarian GP to look forward to, hopefully returning us to the clean battles we saw early in the season. It’s also the Spa 24 Hours which will hopefully go a little better than the visit to the circuit by the British GTs last weekend...
