Anyone here collect & build these beauties?

[Bengalensis]

I suppose I'm guilty, I've built a number of them in 1/24 scale and have a few more waiting in the stash.

Are there any available? I guess there must be but I’ve never seen any! Got a few diecasts though...

[Black Knight T33]

Yes there's plenty out there.  Alot out of production,  the likes of Replicast, Mach One Models, John Shinton Models, Western Models & Pandora Models being retired.  There is Touchwood Models still in business & LSR Productions have come out of retirement & are re-releasing some ex Pandora Models in a ltd ed,  as are SMTS with the Western Models. 

The main scale is 1/43 but there are afew other scales available but even harder to come by.

Profil 24 do a resin kit of Sir Henry Segrave's Golden Arrow (Irving Napier Special) in 1/24 and a Renault HP in the same scale - expensive but nice.

Chris Etzel produced a 1/25 resin Stutz Blackhawk Special, later marketed by American Racing Miniatures. Also of course Revell's plastic kits of Mickey Thompson's Challengers.

Have a look here :  Link

All sorts of stuff in all sorts of scales.

Indeed, and also in 1/24 resin from Fernando Pinto (FPPM) we have:

1933 Malcolm Campbell's Bluebird

1939 Mercedes T80

1964 Donald Campbell's Bluebird CN7

1983 Richard Noble's Thrust II

With a little work they build into very nice models.
