Until I received a phone call from Jim Hyland the other day I though Aussie Model Creations was long out of production business but Jim, now in his late 70s, assures me he is still alive and kicking.

Based in Warrackanbeal Victoria, AMC are true handbuilt models of Aussie classic cars, Utes and some commercial vehicles. There are too many to list here so, if you are interested in classic Aussie models or models that are unique to Australia, contact us and I will put you in touch with Jim.

Price range from $185 to around $250 for some real gems.

Well it looks like we have been screwed by Tron. After talking with them about making the Fed Gibson Alfa T33/4 from Phillip Island, they appear to have gone and made it in their BeeBop range………..….thanks Tron.

Hopefully we should have the Aussie GP winner from 1955 ready to roll during the first quarter 2011. Order the diorama version now at $350 as there will be only 10 as with all the built Aus GP Legends. Kits will be available for this car and of course standard built models too.

Amongst a whole raft of new releases from K&R Replicas are a couple that will interest us in Aus. Austin Healey Sprite Mk1 1960 Nurburgring 1000kms & 500kms Paul Hawkins and another Hawkins version from Rouen 1960 too.

See this month new releases for the other new kits.

Our next release in the Historic Racing Car range will be the 1987 Bathurst JPS BMW M3’s #44 & $45. These should be available by the end of January. Price $85 kit $275 built.

Stunning is the only word for the Chromes range from Ilaro Chiera in France and below is yet another one. Based on the Delahaye 175S and styled by Saoutchik was original painted Turquoise but later use in a Bubble Gum advertisement it was re-painted in Orange……………Wow.

He has two other ranges so take a look at www.ilario.com and they are all available through Automodelli Studio -but do be quick as they are very limited runs. Price for this particular model, which is 40 only, is $330
