January and February traditionally bring the launch of models from most of the large European model manufacturers for the year ahead. Toy fair season is also upon us, not only in the UK, but also in Mainland Europe. There are lots of new releases to look forward to in 2018 and we hope to cover these new releases in future issues.

SEARCH-IMPEX: Three of the best

Model vehicle specialist Search-Impex has announced the release of three new 1:50 scale models. Firstly, a Scania S580 (6x2) tractor unit and three-axle refrigerated trailer, customised in the highly attractive 10th anniversary livery of Scottish haulier JHP Transport. The model has been produced exclusively for Search-Impex by WSI Collectibles as a certificated Limited Edition (175 pieces). This exciting new release is priced at £147 each (including UK delivery & VAT).
