Back to the full Q2 2026 Development Update >
Development of our Formula 1 collection continues to gather momentum, with a series of new reveals and exciting updates planned for collectors. Among our headline projects for 2026, we can now reveal that we have been developing a limited edition Race Weathered 1:8 scale replica of Gilles Villeneuve’s Ferrari 312 T4 from the 1979 US Grand Prix East, with the first model nearing completion in time for the Canadian Grand Prix later this month. Models of the McLaren M23D are also now approaching completion, with the batch of models anticipated ready for dispatch within the next month. Alongside this, development continues on the Ferrari 312 T2 and Ferrari 156 F1 “Sharknose” at 1:18 scale, with releases planned later in the second half of the year. We now have collected and are now processing the data required for our 1:8 scale model of Niki Lauda’s Ferrari 312 T “Teapot”, a significant step in this endeavour. We can also reveal our Formula 1-based collaborations with Ferrari and McLaren projects will continue for 2026 for the SF-26 and the MCL40, including the revival of our miniature nosecones and steering wheels for the Ferrari.
