Latest update on the Hachette 1/24th Ferrari F1 series. They are doing the 500F2, 312B3, 126C2, 312 T2 and T3....I think we should have almost all the Ferrari F1 cars by the end of this series. They vary, but most are very good and others amazing for diecasts.1956 D50 is out at the end of October.

FYI, Museum Collection has a number of decals made for the Hachette 1/24th F1 models for those wishing to add details. The 126CK wheel and photoetch/decal T-kit is also still available and it is very nice indeed!!

With the Meng kit announcement of a Mclaren MP4/4 full detail in 1/24th scale 1/24th F1 is looking better and better. Keep them coming.

Finally you can put your F1 and sportscars together with the same scale.

For information, there is an italian company producing the Marlboro decals for the 1/24 cars from the centauria collection...

Hachette added the LOTUS 80 Mario Andretti 1979 to the 1/24th model release list. They say there will be an extension of 20 cars to the regular F1 car collection along with a 20 car extension to the Ferrari F1 1/24th collection. That makes a total of 200 1/24th F1 cars in the collection. I think IXO will continue their own 1/24th series of F1 cars also. Maybe use the news stand models to do a complete world champion collection in 1/24th scale for the entire world, not just Italy and a few other lucky countries.

Looks like Hachette will add 20 more F1 cars to the 1/24th scale series and 20 more F1 cars to the Ferrari F1 series making the total 200 F1 cars in 1/24th scale. Amazing little models, if you have not bought one try on the IXO website and buy the 1/24th Lotus 72 F1 model to see how good the quality is. Or go on ebay Europe for many 1/24th model listings. You will be amazed at the quality. I add details to the models I get, and sometimes repaint and re decal as many 1/24th F1 decals are available aftermarket. Here are the best ones I have found:

So now the people at Hachette are spreading rumors the regular 1/24th F1 series will go to 140 cars and the Ferrari series 100 cars, for a total of 240 1/24th F1 cars. I think we will get 1 F1 Ferrari from every year and all the Drivers' Championship cars in 1/24th scale. Add FPPM and Fernando Pinto and we will also get most of the pre war open wheel Driver Championship cars in 1/24th scale along with several Indy cars. Add to that almost everything outside of F1 cars in either 1/43rd, 1/24th or 1/18th you might want to re consider 1/24th scale for everything in the larger scales as they make a lot of model kits in 1/24th scale and almost no 1/18th scale model kits. Even the Renault Espace F1 minivan model kit is 1/24th scale.

Mike Quarterman of UMI's dream is finally coming true. I wish he had lived long enough to see it happen. He did get the first few Hachette 1/24th scale F1 models before he passed away.
