I have had this kit banging around for quite awhile. I bought it used off Ebay and there was a mismatched set of tires. 1/20 tires are not so plentiful. Although I recently found a set in another Entex kit I had. Now I didn't have an excuse. Paint on this is Mr Color #49 clear orange and Mr Color #75 Metallic red over gold. Clear coat is 2K. Kit had some nice working features but it did kinda fought me to the end. This is an early Japanese kit and the quality was questionable. still I am fairly pleased with the result. Below the pictures are more comments on this build. Interesting veiw shows off all the opening parts. Trunk opens too but wouldn't stay. There is a 1290cc four banger nestled in there mounted transverse. Its all wired and plumbed. This gave the car some nimble handling. Interior had some nice detail but the dash was sadly lacking. Found a great set of decals in the stash and it perked right up. Steering wheel is the racing version and I drilled out the spokes. That was fun. Exterior had all the details of the real car. Just need some luv to bring them out. Wheels were 4 pieces and screwed on. This was a kit feature as well as metal suspension pieces and springs. Rear veiw shows off some of the nice detail. Licence plate came out of the spares. rear suspension screwed together but took some skill to get it right. Body fit very nicely on the chassis and screwed in place in the front. I am considering pulling the tires and filling them with something. They are very very soft and hollow. I like the end result here and feel it was worth the struggle. Kit is kind of rare so I was glad to add it to the collection.

Hello again forum, here for any help I recently purchased a Entex 1/16 1914 Dennis Motor Fire- Engine and all bags were all pretty much stapled but there are 2 things I'm missing and need to know if anyone here would know where I could get replacement? or aftermarket? I'm missing one of the clutch springs, and one of the brass eyelets for axle. I took some photos of spring I do have with a mm measuring ruler not sure if I'm figuring the measurements correctly or where I can even find this small of a spring. this is the measurements I figured going by the info I got off the net to figure out the spring size: Solid Height 2mm, Free Length 5.5mm, Outside Diameter 2mm, Inside Diameter 1.75mm or 2/32" or 1/16", Wire Diameter 1/64", Max Rod Diameter 2mm. I couldn't take photos of all measurements. I hope all the experts know the actual size and maybe where I can find and or how to purchase using the correct sizes? I'm also missing one of the brass ladder eyelets for axle. I don't know where to even start looking for one of these nor how to measure to get the correct one, any help would greatly be appreciated as always! Thank you in advance for any help! Bummer666

Hello everyone. I found this Entex kit at my local hobby store for $60. I'm a big fan of these old brass era autos. The kit features the 1910 Thomas Flyer Model M 6 - 40. Possibly the best Thomas ever built, it had the companies most powerful 6 cylinder engine (64Hp @ 1500RPM) and highest price tag. Surprised I haven't seen any of these cars built on this forum. I've seen many Mercers (which I eventually want to build) but not these Thomas's Anyways, I started getting the engine assembled. The cylinder heads were put together along with the brass priming cups. Before the heads were mounted to the block, i installed the valve springs. Finally the flywheel was installed. The car on the box art is green but I feel that RED what look good on the car. Along with natural rubber white colored tires
