Planes, Pickups and Pop Culture: Diecast Collector Kicks Off 2026 in Style

New year, new issue, and plenty to get collectors smiling. The February 2026 Diecast Collector lands with a bang, led by Corgi’s mighty 1:72 Martin B-26 Marauder – a model that proves big planes can still steal the show.

This month also sees the launch of a brand-new restoration series, offering friendly, practical advice for anyone ready to get their hands dirty and rescue a tired model.
