Paragon vs Almost Real: which Bentley in 1:18?

If you are looking for a Bentley in 1:18, you have a genuine choice: both Paragon and Almost Real produce Bentley models, but with different ranges. For Rolls-Royce, Paragon is the only option. Almost Real is a broader brand with models from Mercedes, Jaguar, Land Rover, Pagani and Bentley.

Paragon: the complete Rolls-Royce and Bentley range

Paragon has the broadest Bentley range in 1:18: Continental GT, Flying Spur and Bentayga in multiple colour variants. In addition, Paragon is the only manufacturer to also cover Rolls-Royce with the Ghost, Phantom, Wraith and Cullinan. The quality is solid for the price of €120 to €220: opening doors, accurate proportions and an interior that faithfully reproduces the leather textures of the originals.

Almost Real: Bentley alongside a broad range

Almost Real releases the Bentley Mulsanne and Continental in 1:18. For those specific models it is a serious alternative to Paragon. Almost Real is however a broader brand: it also makes models of Mercedes, Jaguar, Land Rover and Pagani. The finish is clean and consistent, with prices typically between €160 and €280.

Which brand do you choose?

For the Bentley Mulsanne or Continental you have a genuine choice between the two brands. For the rest of the Bentley range and all Rolls-Royce models, Paragon is the only option. If you also collect Mercedes, Jaguar or Land Rover, Almost Real is the brand that combines multiple segments in one collection.
