Coming from you, this is a great compliment ? thank you!!

Good morning Chris,  

I came across your thread for the first time today and I'm amazed at your progress and the beauty of this car.  I've learned too that I need a new "toy" in a magnetic polisher.  That thing seems quite cool and I love the results.  Each one of these challenging kits you seem to get better and better with and the Bentley is no exception.  Really like the color too.  More posts now please!   cheers, tim

A few hours of massaging to get to this point …

Beautiful detailing and the finish on that british racing green body looks so nice.

[Funkychiken]

It's a beautiful piece of engineering artwork, and your paint finish is amazing...

Hi,

 

Spectacular!

And what a beautiful dashboard!

Love that dash

[Pierre Rivard]

Impeccable detailing of the dash. It's a shame it will be hard to see through the limited side glass opening.

[Foxer]

Beautiful build. Especially like your metalics.

[Chris Smith]

Thank you all for the kind compliments!!

yes it will be tough to see the dash when it’s installed.

Absolutely Stunning!!!

[Funkychiken]

Dash is amazing!

[Smilesperhour]

Wow that's a lot of detail

[Chris Smith]

A few more bits finished! Still lots more to do…

Thank you all for following along ?

[Chris Smith]

I took these for fun 

[Smilesperhour]

Are you sure you didn't break in, just shrink the real car down and put it in a bag? 

 

Looks so good the fit and finish

This model is coming on really well. Great choice of subject. Those big MFH kits are quite challenging and bring out some really good subjects that mainstream kit manufacturers shy away from. Would be nice if MFH brought out a Bentley Blower to compliment this one or a Bugatti Type 59 also would be very, very nice

I believe that Zero paints have this  particular colour green in their range.

Thank you for checking in. It’s always a guessing game on what Mr. Hiro is going to produce next, There are so many great and iconic cars that would be cool if they made them.

I am using Gravity and love this color, I’m probably going to take some outside photos come springtime when it’s sunny.
