Fujimi did produce a couple of RRs.a convertible and a Phantom V, though not great reprisentations and usually motorised. I sold the Phantom V on ebay back in November, the image is still their as of 19 Jan.

Thanks John . . . I did not know that Fujimi produced any kits of Rolls-Royce cars. The Phantom V sounds interesting . . .

Thanks for the information John.

I did some searching for the Fujimi kits and they seem rather expensive given the questionable quality and odd scale. They seem to be leaning more toward the collector's market rather than the builder's market... for those who make such a distinction. In either case, they're a little too dear for this builder's market.

Still, it's good to know that they're out there.

Thanks again.

Now this build is finished!

Thanks for your indulgence,

I found these pics in my files of one I sold recently. 1963 motorised. It's not that bad ecxept the roof need a little work to make it the correct shape. I think it would make a good reprisentation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's ceremonial vehicle if you could vac form a clear roof.

Thanks for sharing the photos John.

It is a recognizable rendition though rather blocky and toy-like. To bring it up to what I would consider acceptable would take more work than I'm capable of. Or at least willing to currently take on.

I do like the mistranslation on the box, "Best oner car in the world."  Did they mean "one", "owner" or "motor"? it seems like they hit on elements of all three words.

Thanks,

David G.
