These are mostly some quick phone-camera shots of the Bentley Continental coupe, as done in 1/38 scale by Kinsmart. These type of diecast models are sold at various places, including the pharmacy where I picked this one up, along with my pills !
This one also has a spring pull-back feature, but it is nice just as a static diecast replica of this expensive full-size automobile. The diecast model is well-done as a normally pretty high-class car.

Love the pics - especially with the lights on!

I've got one of those but I can't find where to put the battery to make the lights work. Advice welcome.

Lol, those were the only images that weren't quick phone-camera shots..... and it was just photoshop trickery ! However, it would be cool to have or wire up some real lights on one's diecast car model.

I have also seen these models at my local pharmacy. Some of them look pretty good.

There are some pretty nice ones and it can be a bit unexpected to see some small scale model vehicles for sale while waiting around for a prescription !

Kinsmart are getting some nice models these days. This Bentley is quite well done.

They can do a nice job, especially considering their low price. Also, some of their vehicles are right around some of the standard scales. For example, I have a Ford Crown Victoria that seemed to be at about a 1/44 scale.

Great images of a value-priced model, Mike.

Thanks, John ! I think perhaps some people (possibly younger ones) get introduced to the diecast/model car hobby with replicas such as these represent. Maybe they then graduate to more detailed or expensive automobile models and build a collection.

I sure do wish Kidsmart would settle on correct 43rd scale and I would much more likely be a buyer although I do have some that measure out more or less correct.

But then some would say 1/24 (or 1/32 or 1/18) is the "correct" scale. Kinsmart are usually sized to plastic trays and sold in places like pharmacies and the like, so their business model is generally a bit different.
