News from 2013 Nurnburg Toy Fair
It's that time of year again when the manufacturers unveil their new product offerings for the year. Here are the highlights so far.
BRM Slot presents a 1/24 scale McLaren F1 GTR in two liveries
Carrera has, as usual, a raft of new releases...
How about a 1/32 scale Porsche 904?
Looking at these two new cars reminds us of just how right Monogram got the same car 50 years ago. But there's a bit of bad news. According to published information the 904s will be available only in race sets this year. Bummer. We will investigate further to see if that's really true.
Here's another livery for the popular Carrera 1/24 scale Porsche 917.
And the 1/24 scale Cheetah.
Plus a 1/24 scale Ferrari 250 GTO.
Speaking of Ferraris, the really big announcement from Carrera this year is...
A Ferrari 512S in red...
And in yellow. You just knew they would make something for their Porsche 917s to race with.
If you like vintage touring cars on steroids this Alfa should please you. We would prefer it without the wing.
Carrera is commemorating a vac-body car from decades ago with a kandy-kolor livery on its 1/32 scale Cobra. It may seem a bit garish to some but we have seen 1:1 race cars painted in color schemes like this over the years and they can be quite attractive. Just add numbers to the doors and a sponsor decal or three.
If you prefer something more traditional Carrera is also offering this Cobra livery in 1/32 scale.
