Wow. Wee

You’d do well to keep a magnifying loupe handy when considering either of Spark Models’ 1:87 Bentleys; one is a GT coupe, and the other a GTC convertible. Each stretches only to just over two inches in length, but the little resin babies both feature full interiors, slick paint, and amazing photo-etched grilles and markings. I loved the real screening at the noses, the peek-a-boo wheels and brake disc detailing, and the heap of extra-mile stuff (like the eyelash-sized photo-etched windshield wiper arms) that Spark’s heaped on. I never thought I’d find cause to celebrate eyestrain - until now. Bottom line: Way too good to waste on a train layout; with details like these, you’ll want to keep them right in your hand.  - CRM
