We have a couple of catalogues to share, each giving us some insight on front half TrueScale Miniatures and TopSpeed assortment. TSM will issue the McLaren Speedtail in 1:43, and 1:12 Tyrell P34 looks delicious too. TopSpeed is placing bets on their new 1:18 mid-engine Corvette, it will be available in Black and Torch Red soon!

TSM couldve done better this year. Tbh last years assortment was way better
They’ve been disappointing for a while now. A couple of years ago they dangled the carrot of an opening XJR9, which sank without trace. The interesting TSM race cars in 1/18 (albeit resin ones) seem to have dried up, and all we get now is Top Speed with all its sealed grilles, for not much less than the price of an infinitely better Spark. It’s a real shame as TSM had started out with such a lot of promise.
It´s a 1/18 Bentley theme. The 8 litre is a spin-off from the model built for Bentley Motors to serve as a give-away to buyers of the Mulsanne W.O. Edition which is designed on W.O.´s personal 8 litre. The green one still bears the same registration, but would have been black when owned by W.O. and was repainted green by later owners. The car still is now owned by Bentley Motors and black again. Pity that the model is not made available in black. to ordinary collectors.
Was that an opening model, or fully sealed? Seems like TSM have moved away from opening in general but if it were opening it would be on my wish list.
It’s definitely sealed. Sorry!
