Dave: I think you should add a fan venting to the outside taking the fumes away from you.

Thank you for your concern Jose, but don't worry, I have stopped aerosol spray painting, airbrush painting and brushed on enamels painting around six months ago now . . . This is why I am hoping to polish the bare plastic and avoid using paints . . .

Well. late last night I somehow managed to find a Silver Cloud kit on Ebay . . . This one is the Entex version and the Ebay seller is in the Netherlands.

The asking price was quite reasonable, and I noticed there was also a ' Make Offer ' option available. The price was in US.$, which at first led me to believe this kit was being listed by a seller in the US of course. The price in brackets was in GBP, and what surprised me was there was no price in Euros, which I had expected from a Dutch seller . . . Anyway, the asking price was US.$. 46.80 plus a shipping cost of US.$. 21.60, which is high postage from Holland to UK . . .

I made an offer of US.$. 30.00 which was accepted. All of the Ebay seller's items listed in their shop were action toys, so no scale model cars, only this one kit of the Rolls-Royce . . . I figured that maybe the seller was not fully aware of how rare this kit is these days.

So, the kit will be delivered to my home within 7 - 10 days and I can get started on the build as of now. First stage is the polishing of the body shell, trunk lid and two hood panels . . . I shall test the polishing on one of the three body shells that I have already, and from the photos on Ebay it looks like the body from Holland might be in better shape than my three bodies.

I have previously built 8 Silver Cloud kits, but none of them are Entex . . . They have been Revell, Minicraft and Masterkit, but not Entex. Judging by the photos, the tyres tell me that the Entex kit is similar to the Revell kit, which is a good thing . . .

Sorry to hear about your lung issues. In late May I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. 

Hoping you can quickly recover.

All the very best...
