junkyardjeff Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I have one of their Rolls Royce that is built and heard its kind of rare and was thinking about modifying it but if it could be worth something I will not do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 It's been reissued several times under different companies (Entex and Minicraft). You can still get them pretty cheap, usually under $20:http://www.ebay.com/sch/Models-Kits-/1188/i.html?_sac=1&_from=R40&_nkw=rolls royce silver cloud&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684Were you thinking of building the car from the Ron Howard movie Grand Theft Auto?

sjordan2 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) The Hubley Rolls is always available for cheap on eBay, under the Minicraft label. It was originally produced by Hubley and is the only promo ever authorized by Rolls. That said, it's pretty rudimentary. The tires are too small, the hubcaps are inaccurate, the one-piece engine top is just a blob, the Flying Lady mascot is about twice as big as it should be, and you may find a lot of flash and mold seams. Body shape is pretty accurate, but the trunk fit is kind of loosey-goosey. Interior tub is typical 50s, meaning too shallow. The kit was also issued by Minicraft as a "Phantom Squire" woody with awful wood panel stickers; this version was also issued with a misprint on the box claiming it was 1/16 scale -- not so, as I discovered when I opened the box. There never was a 1/16 kit of this car. Edited February 29, 2016 by sjordan2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 I think I might have some fun with it if I ever get around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
