Greetings to all

Hoping some of you may be able to help. Are there any magazines that cater for the diecast model car collector, with particular focus on the 'Australian' models (Biante/Autoart/Trax etc)?

If there are, what are your opinions on them & what are the better ones & the ones to avoid, & where do I find them? I've always kept an eye open at my local newsagent, but there never seems to be any coming through.

Hoping someone can help!

Theres a magazine i think its called australian muscle car. it usually has dicast write ups like the latest issue has a detailed list of last minuite changes to the brock/mezera VR, with some nice pics too. theres also little bits and pieces on trax and CC. its the closest mag i can find so far.

hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Jamie - I too have old Trax catalogues/brochures etc, but thanks for the offer.

As to the magazines mentioned, I'll be making enquiries with my newsagent.

Thanks again everyone :D
