Hello

Does anyone know if there are kits available of European vintage racecars from around 1930, preffered british (Bentley, Napier etc)
Please pass me a link.

To give an idea, something like this:





Thnx

Off the top of my head Airfix did a 1930 Bentley 4.5 litre supercharged
.
Don't remember it being that expensive when I was a kid .

That Airfix kit is 1/12 scale, so it being that pricey is understandable.

MPC also made the kit (however it was just a rebox of the Airfix kit) can't wait for that one to come back out, friend of mine has an original Airfix version of the kit, and it is a very nice kit indeed!

A long defunct company called 'Merit' did some very basic 1930s GP cars which sometimes turn up on Ebay. Several companies have produced 1/24 scale Bentleys, I think Pyro did one that has since reappeared in Revell or Monogram boxes. Airfix did 1/32 scale Mercedes and MG, Matchbox released Aston Martin, Mercedes and AutoUnion cars.

I think eiether Ebay or specialists on OOP kits will be yor best bet.

Here's a Mercedes from Lindberg

There is a 1/24 Bentley Blower originally released by Heller and re-packaged by Union in Japan, and other companies as well, quite frequently found at e-bay, not very expensive.

On the other hand I have never seen Napiers etc. from this vintage, I think if they exist they do it as limited-run resins.

There is an 1/24 Alfa Romeo Mille-Miglia by Heller, and a few pre-war French street cars (Delages, Delahayes, Bugattis, Renaults) by Heller now out of production but often seen at swap meets and e-bay.
