Banana 1:64 Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB HEC Review

By Scale Metals

Quick take: Banana’s 1:64 Phantom EWB gets the essentials right: the extended body looks convincing, the stance suits the car, and the black-and-yellow finish is cleanly separated. Its display presentation feels substantial, while the simplified lamp internals, shallow exhaust outlets and molded roof antenna are the main reminders of the scale.

This HEC release from Banana covers two long-wheelbase Phantom colorways: a fully blacked-out version and the black-and-yellow version shown throughout this review. Supercars dominate plenty of model collections, but a full-size luxury sedan brings a very different sort of presence. In 1:64, the Phantom EWB still looks broad, formal and deliberately imposing.

The package also contributes to that impression. The model comes mounted on a leather-textured base with a metal nameplate and a clear acrylic cover. Combined with the Phantom’s large footprint, the complete display has reassuring visual weight before the finer details are examined.

Packaging and Display

The outer paper sleeve is open at the front and coordinated with the model’s body color. Inside, the car sits on its display base beneath the acrylic cover, with the metal plaque completing a presentation that feels more considered than a basic box-and-blister arrangement. HEC identification is also visible on the packaging.

Body Shape, Paint and Side Details

The overall shape is convincing, and the suspension height avoids making the model look either too tall or unnaturally low. Both colorways have a smooth-looking finish, but the yellow-and-black version makes the execution easier to judge. Its color boundary is crisp, and the fine black coachline gives the broad yellow side panels a more finished appearance.

Panel lines are reasonably even across the body. The chrome-colored door handles are separate pieces, as are the small side trim and indicator elements. Black window surrounds keep the upper section coherent, while the raised B- and C-pillars give the glazing area more depth than a purely printed treatment would.

The solid disc-style wheels suit the Phantom and carry clearly rendered center emblems. The emblems do rotate with the wheels rather than staying upright, so Banana has not reproduced the self-leveling effect associated with the full-size car. Because the wheel faces are closed, no separate brake detail is visible behind them.

Grille, Headlights and Front Trim

The headlights are separate pieces, although they do not use lens elements and their internal graphics are printed. They read clearly at normal viewing distance, but close inspection reveals a flatter finish than the rest of the front end.

The grille is a separate chrome-colored component. Its vertical bars combine raised detail with printed finishing, which gives the nose enough definition at this size. A separate hood ornament is fitted at the center, and the package includes a spare. The lower bumper intakes are molded in relief rather than opened through, but the pattern remains legible.

Rear Finish and Cabin

The taillights are separate components with visible internal patterning, although they also lack lens depth. The rear badges appear to be printed. Lower down, the exhaust outlets are represented in relief; their shallow openings are one of the less convincing details when the model is viewed closely from behind.

The cabin is mainly black and contains a useful amount of molded detail, with color separation doing most of the visual work. The windshield wipers are etched parts, a welcome fine-scale touch beside the heavier exterior components. Through the dark glazing, the interior is more something to discover under good light than a feature that dominates the model.

Across the top, Banana represents a panoramic glass area with starlight-style cabin detailing rather than an opening roof. The small shark-fin antenna is molded into the roof, so it looks less delicate than the separate trim pieces used elsewhere.

Metal Underbody and Tire Detail

The metal underbody uses molded relief to suggest the main mechanical forms. The exhaust system is picked out in a contrasting color, which helps it stand apart from the darker chassis, and the tires carry visible tread. It is not an extensively layered underside, but it avoids looking unfinished.

Final Thoughts

Banana’s Phantom EWB fills a useful place in the current 1:64 market. Its strongest qualities are the long, formal body shape, sensible stance, clean two-tone paint and carefully assembled side trim. The base, plaque and acrylic cover also make it feel like a display piece rather than a loose miniature.

The compromises are concentrated in the close-up details. Printed lamp internals, shallow exhaust outlets and the molded roof antenna do not match the refinement of the grille, etched wipers or separate door hardware. Even so, the model remains visually coherent as a whole, and the black-and-yellow version carries enough contrast to make the Phantom’s scale and proportions easy to appreciate.
