A quiet month on the kit front, after the summer the European manufacturers have come up with many factory built models.

Jade have an enormous array of Aston Martin DBR1/300, but where are the kits we have been promised for the last 4 months. Once upon a time kits came first but not today, as manufacturers are selling more and more built models, after the builts are cleared then kits get released and if you miss the first batch of castings you may have to wait many months, in fact years in some cases. The worst case we have, has been on back order for 2 years and we have several that range from 6 to 18 months.

So get in early and you may save yourself a long wait.

In future we will try and let you know what is coming. From Jan 2008 we will have the new releases page as now and also a coming soon page with the monthly news letter. The new page will list every 1/43 scale kit and built model that we get notified of. This will allow you to pre order items and hopefully save you having to wait too long. We do try to stock as many Aus/NZ related kits as possible, but to stock every kit would be logistically and financially impossible therefore pre ordering is highly recommended.

Axel’R usually come up with unusual subjects and their latest is no exception, a Jim Russell Racing School Lotus 61FF that won the Les Leston Formula Ford Championship 1966 in the UK driven by Aussie, Dave Walker

We have just acquired some out of production kits that were raced by Aussie drivers at Le Mans. All are complete and in good condition as far as we can tell. Kit price $85.00 Please contact us if you are interested in the kits or having them built for you. Built POA

Just released the 2007 Le Mans annual. The official book by the ACO of the race, a must for LM modelers
