Model Auto Review continue to publish interesting articles. Here are a few that caught my eye recently. First up is the news that Officina 942 have announced their first models in 1:43 scale, and the subject is two early Fiat racing cars, the 801 and 802 as shown above. They definitely have a charm of their own. There is also a post featuring the Smokey Mountain Toy & Pedal Car show in the states. Lots of pics of the models, well worth a look. Finally this bus in a coach station in Austria looks like it has a window open but in fact its a clever use of graphics to promote a glazing company, had me fooled.

Welcome to the July blog. At the moment of writing this, you cannot move for all things politics and election based, but have no fear we have the antidote. I mean of course immersing ourselves in the wonderful world of diecast models.
