Before naming their new US distributor, Spark Model released their annual list of 1/43 scale Le Mans entries. That list finally arrived here this morning – with a deadline two days off, no usable jpeg images and several misprints in the part numbers and descriptions. I spent the morning uploading all 49 entries to MotorsportCollector.com, making corrections along the way, so hopefully there there won’t be more than the usual typos here or in the descriptions. Check out the complete list HERE. Jeff has edited the original pdf file (attached HERE) so between the two sources, you should have enough accurate information to make your choices.

We will be Closed Saturday, September 16 Several other New Product lists arrived this morning. All have ‘normal’ deadline dates and should be uploaded to MotorsportCollector.com before the weekend.  Although the official deadline for the 1/43 Le Mans entrants is Friday, I’m told orders placed by Monday morning will be OK.
