Revell Rumours...
Picked up some information from the US about potential new models from Revell-Monogram in 2006. What we can expect are:
The Cooper Ford, with expected release in July
The Porsche 904, with expected release in August
The Chaparral 2D, part with expected release in October
Also there are rumoured mutterings about a Ferrari being released in September if the relevant licensing agreements can be reached.
I want to see more of their stunning Jaguar E-Types and I'm sure my wishes will be met in 2006.

A new Manafacturer?...
First of all a new manufacturer seems like it is emerging from the hot bed of slot cars that is Spain: Sloter. They will launch with two Ferraris 312PB in 2006. The liveries will be based on the cars that competed in the 1972 Daytona race as driven by Jacky Ickx and Ronnie Peterson.
The photo reminds me of the Vanquish MG models - I might be reading too much in to it but maybe Sloter are the phoenx to rise from the ashes of Vanquish MG. If so lets hope they learnt from their mistakes.
