Model Development Update

An update on our progression of our most recent model projects

Coming into the second quarter of the year, our engineers and artisans are bringing more fine models to fruition than ever before. With so many development projects for a growing number of significant partners, we want to keep our loyal clients informed with our progress three months into the year and highlight our most recent new projects. Read on to learn more.

The Classics

Our classic projects at 1:18 scale are currently thriving, with the release of the Aston Martin DB5, Lamborghini Miura (in three colours), McLaren F1 LM and Bugatti Type 59 already this year. Our 1955 Le Mans-winning Jaguar D-type is also due to launch in just a week’s time, this being the last reminder to register your interest to be the first to know when these models are available to order. We are still in the early stages of development for the 1929 Le Mans winning Bentley Blower 1:18 scale, whilst progress towards our first complete Maserati 250F is going well with our first prototype expected to be completed before the end of the month. Read more details, including predicted timescales, on our website.

Modern GT

We were excited to reveal an stirring new development at 1:18 scale a month ago: the Ferrari 812 Competizione Tailor Made Art Car. This project is moving swiftly, and the completed prototype could be revealed as soon as August. At 1:8 scale, the prototype of the Ferrari SF90 XX Spider has been approved by Ferrari and models are now available to order. Our McLaren 750S Coupe model is currently in approval with McLaren, whilst the prototype of the Spider is anticipated next month. We are making good advances with the development of the Lamborghini Revuelto and Aston Martin Valkyrie, though both projects are still in the early stages. Read more details, including predicted timescales, on our website.

Modern Motorsport

Following the enormous popularity of the 1:8 scale, we’re delighted to say we are aiming to have models of the Ferrari 499 at 1:18 scale available for dispatch around Le Mans in June, with pre-orders likely to open in May. Register your interest to be the first informed. Development of our collection of Ferrari SF-24 models is advancing well, and we have since confirmed that our 1:8 and 1:18 scale editions will replicate Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc’s 1-2 victory from the Australian Grand Prix in March. Our models of the McLaren MCL60 have all received approval at the first major stage in their development, and now our focus has moved to exactly recreating the car’s distinctive liveries. Lastly, we now have the data with which to develop the Ferrari 296 Challenge, and so work here has commenced. Read more details, including predicted timescales, on our website.

Mosquito (1:16)

Four of this very limited edition of ten models have already been pre-ordered, with models #2 and #3 in the edition finishing in the next few weeks. We expect to have more imagery of the "Wooden Wonder" to share with you all in the near future. The remaining six models will be built to order. Contact our sales team to reserve your model.

B-17 (1:32)

Development has been progressing well with our 1:32 scale replica of the B-17 Flying Fortress, with our current focus on recreating the aircraft’s interior. The first three models of the iconic American WWII bomber are anticipated to be finished in the summer, and we are accepting orders for delivery before the year’s end.
