Kess: nine in 1:43, including a Ferrari that only exists once
Kess has opened nine new 1:43 references, and the pick of them is the Meera S — the 400i that Michelotti rebodied in 1983 for a Saudi customer and never built again. The Alfetta GT Eagle is nearly as obscure: a Pininfarina cabriolet conversion of the Alfetta GT, here in both roof-up and roof-down form.
- KE43056490 and KE43056491 — Ferrari Meera S by Michelotti, 1983
- KE43056440 — Ferrari 166 MM Vignale Spider, second series, chassis 0314M, 1953

- KE43000361 — the same car, open
- KE43000430 and KE43000431 — Alfa Romeo 1900C SS Zagato Coupé, chassis 10593, 1957
- KE43062010 — Packard Bayliff 1107 Roadster 1934, open

Sun Star: the 1962 Volkswagen Samba in 1:12
Sun Star has posted an unboxing of its 1:12 1962 Volkswagen Samba bus in white over blue-white, a limited edition of 1,000 pieces worldwide. The company is making a good deal of the working parts — opening doors throughout and interactive detail across the body — which at 1:12 on a vehicle this shape means a very large model indeed. The video runs about a minute and a half and is the best look at it so far.
Kaido House and Mini GT: four for October
The October Kaido House batch is open for pre-order, all 1:64.
- KHMG318 — Subaru Impreza WRX STI, Kaido Works V1
- KHMG320 — Chevrolet Silverado Dually, Kaido Racing Team V1
- KHMG321 — Datsun Kaido 510 Wagon, police
- KHMG322 — Honda NSX, Kaido House Nostalgic Classics
Also new in 1:64: Motor Helix and GT Max
Three RWB 993s from Motor Helix, all special editions — Adriana in metallic pink, Ramintra in metallic silver and Rotana in purple. Alongside them, GT Max has done something unusual: a limited-edition Porsche 911 GT3 R EVO from the 2026 China GT round at Shanghai, Phantom Global Racing’s number 79, modelled in its damaged state rather than as it left the garage.
