louis Carabott Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 When I first joined this forum I introduced myself and I also uploaded a couple of pics of my model of the Airfix Bentley...So I thought I'd post some more pics and info regarding the build .I built this a while ago and it was my first go for a large scale kit. I always loved a challenge Needless to say as you all know it 's quite an old kit and I had to be very careful because the parts were quite brittle.... Needed a lot of work as well ... had to be build some scratchbuilt components ....Obviously a lot and I mean a lot of trunking and wiring . Wooden floor built from scratch as well as the dashboard . Wire wheels were laced ...not an easy task....Insect screen meshing was used for the fuel tank protective meshing ... Finished in Gravity paint and lacquer Hope you like it Regards Lou Malta 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 That is beautiful. I regard the one I did as one of my best builds, and this blows it away. Well Done! I got a chance to see one of these at a concourse event and it was a sight. I also got on TV that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDO Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Did you scratch build the blower? It looks better than typical injection molded parts from the 1970s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
