Has anyone seen anything about this new one from Scaley? Being a larger than usual car for them, I wonder if they flubbed again like the Charger disaster earlier, and some really bad color choices on others. It would be easy to make a big mistake in scale when doing a car that looks huge in person.

From the pic Bruce at Cincyslots has on his site looks really good to me. This one is on my radar.

One afternoon at Lime Rock after the festivities of the day, we heard the distinct rumble of the Bentley GT3 car right outside our camper..
They brought them up from the Bentley tent to photo them in the setting sun by the bridge.. We chatted with the crew for a few minutes
while they got everything ready.. I asked how much for the street version.. $330,000 dollars. He said for about a half million more I could
have Leitzingers car :lol:



Here's the road version..



The GT3 did hot laps earlier in the day.. it was pretty cool..fast car around LRP for sure.

I forgot how much better they do with "home" cars. Well, good.
Kev, did the car seem large to you? As compared to other GT cars?

Yes-thats my type of car! I have the Scalex version and I would recommend it -I think they have it spot on. What we need now is a 1/24th version.......

It's probably one of the better looking cars Bentley have released in years. Might even go so far as to say the best looking car they've released since the Embiricos.

There's another livery showing on Fantasy World's site:

Looks amazing to me, and if this car runs like the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 does, then it will be fun

Now THAT is a car....the term "real steel" comes to mind even if most of it is carbon fiber and aluminum. Even today, when compared to their competition, Bugatti's famous quote seems to hold true: "Mr Bentley builds the the fastest lorries in the world".
That second livery is "high resistance"......painted out windows and no interior.

I didn't think I'd like it but they did a very nice job on this one so I bought myself one.

Picked one up ay the LHS. Very nice looking car. Tires seem fairly grippy for rubber. The antenna didn't last long as it broke off while I was removing from the case, minor deal. Looks better in person than pics. :)
