Really nice build you have there, Ron....... I like the car, the paint colours are so vibrant and brilliant chrome work too. Your Dad would indeed be very proud. Late '50's American cars interest me, and if I wasn't specialising in building '50's Rolls-Royce model cars in 1:24 scale, I would go for kits like the one you have built, for sure.

Hmmmmm...50's Rolls? Love those vintage Phantoms. Can you recommend a good 1/24-25 kit of one ? I'd like to build one too!

Well, Ron...... the only Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud kit ever produced was by Minicraft, and also boxed as a Revell Germany kit in 1:24 scale. You can get diecast models of the Rolls-Royce Phantom I by Franklin Mint, as well as the Rolls-Royce Phantom III by Danbury Mint in diecast, and there is a Rolls-Royce Phantom II kit by Italeri, also in 1:24 scale. This is why I had to use the 1960 Silver Cloud kit by Minicraft, and replace the V8 engine with a 3D printed 6-cylinder engine of my own design.

Ok thank you David. Good info that. I'll keep an eye out for the kits and models you mentioned.
