Hello,
does anyone of knows if anybody had made the Bentley Blower 4.5 Litre Supercharged as a resin or white metal replica in 1:43?
Thanks in advance for your help,

Really nice kits & great builds.
I know they were not blowers, but Starter made kits of the Le Mans 1924, 1927, 1928 & 1929 winners. They were nice kits & built up well. |

Piotr,
Top Marques produced several that might fit the bill.
Marquart may still have some available, they do show up on eBay occasionally. Some pics for you.
Blower
Dash detail
Blower screen
This one was my "Holy Grail"
Not a blower Bentley, but a really well detailed model. Note the real rock screen and body shading.
Minichamps version
Cheers and Happy Collecting,

Thank you Jono for this valuable answer.
Yes, this is the Birkin as you've mentioned, besides - it's really nice - so now I have to look after John Day, but these would be quite difficult nowadays.
Nevertheless, thank you very much! I really appreciate your help and knowledge. |

SMTS made the Birkin under the name "Formula Models and Prints" (which is what Momose used), and the Speed Six under the name "The Racing Line". However, apart from Minichamps, I have never seen a 1/43 4.5 litre Blower with the 'standard' body. I believe John Day did a Bentley Blower, too, but I am not sure what version his was.

Thank you very much for answer, I was also thinking about the SMTS, but I really can't see anything on the Internet, besides the momofactory.
However, I can't see the same version as Minichamps made its diecast.
