[Minichamps] Bentley Mulsanne

Post by JP86 » Sun Mar 09, 2014 5:17 am

Maybe the last decent car Minichamps made in scale 1/18. Since the last couple of years, they seem incapable of producing quality models like they did before. This is the brown version also called: arabica over burnt oak. I also purchased the dealer edition in black, but I find this a more striking and elite colour for the car and this one has the chrome accents on the air intakes which I like better. Quality is good, but compared to older Bentley models, produced by minichamps, I lacks weight and doesn't feel as solid. The paintjob is excellent, very deep and brownisch. Interior is very well replicated and the rims very neat executed. Compared to the continental 2011 edition it's a better model, but compared to some older releases (arnage T 2002 and 2006, old continental GTC, azure) it's a step down In my opinion.

Definitely one of their better efforts based on recent releases.

Love the blue Arnage. I have it as well and it just oozes class and elegance.

I like the Arnage for its miles of bonnet, but the Mulsanne has a very weird face. To me at least.

Love both of these...though the Arnage is just awesome.
