Bentley S1 Continental Fastback 1955 Red 1:18 by Cult Scale Models
Bentley S1 Continental Fastback 1955
H J Mulliner’s fast-back coupe bodywork first appeared on Bentley’s R Type Continental chassis and then in late 1955 a revised design appeared on the improved S Type frame. At the time it was probably the fastest four-seater available and certainly among the most expensive and exclusive cars on the market. It was also one of the most beautiful and became an instant classic. Those flowing lines are very well modelled here with crisp panel lines and sharp edges to the tops of the wings. The lower sill trims are painted rather than plated, which isn’t ideal, but the rest of the brightwork has the right level of shine. The paintwork is excellent, and it isn’t immediately obvious that it is metallic, but the right lighting brings out a very subtle fleck.

About Cult Scale Models
Well-proportioned 1:18 resincast models with some interesting subject choices, many of which have a distinctly Anglophile flavour! Paint finishes are excellent, the smaller parts fit well but occasionally the trim detailing could be better. Made in China for The Netherlands.
