squire car manufacturing company--british

Yesterday, 03:46 AM

I am hoping that our friends in England can help me out on this...I am looking for information/drawings on this car. 1933 Squire

Mostly interested in the engine which was the Anzani's R1 100 bhp (75 kW) 1,496 cc twin-cam engine. from Frazer-Nash.

I have the history and basic dimensions but additional information would be appreciated. What I have is from a basic net search.

Qyuickie time.....I am taking a break from other things right now for a quickie.

Yes a kit.....................................modified. I am starting with a Lindberg 1929 Mercedes SSK and changing the body.but not changing the fenders

I want to get this colour and feel

I filled in the door and raised the boot a bit and now making to top.......

and added the beading to the body and hood.

I am using real wires in place of the ones with the kit since I felt the were way too gaudy.....so I cot out the center and the hub which will use the ring and hub and tire to make castings to make real wires from......white walls get the ax....

Yes I bought some kits.........................................................This is a Lindberg kit which I have never done before.

Opening the box most things were bagged except for the chrome????should it not be bagged???????????????

 

Really overall the kit is flash free and nice crisp moldings.....Like the Monogram Rolls it is stiff tho.......

The motor is basic with little detailing and has almost a too mechanical feel to it,,,,,,I am used to the AMT,MPC where they have a more "earthy" feel to them.....The molds also feel a little thin but still fine.

The rubber tires are nicely detailed and pressed but the rims are in my estimation the downfall in the entire kit. I know wire wheels are hard to do but these are flat and have no depth to them.

I will be building this one in the future and of course will use real wire anyway so it is not a problem.

There is a lot of chrome in this one. again it feels still and maybe to much "toy" like. I think it has to do  with not taking the time to "round" out the tooling....I am sure most will understand if they have delt with this type of kit before.....

 

It seems that when they make these older exotics they forget how to tool them like they do the more modern cars.....

 

But all in all a good starting place that could produce a great model if you take the time to fill it out some.
