wayne swayze Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Another beauty! You do good work on your models Harry. Looks very realistic. Nice work on the mesh also!
Twokidsnosleep Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) This is absolutely my kind of car!!! ....and the huge Airfix 1/12 box stares at me from the shelf Not ready to start it yet for both time and skill reservations and b/c it deserves to be done properly.... as Harry has done again with this one You were very quiet about this repair effort. What is on the agenda for your next build?? I have a Revival 1/20 Bugatti type 35 coming along from Italy..that is one of my dream cars Edited February 13, 2015 by Twokidsnosleep
Harry P. Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 What is on the agenda for your next build?? I have an Entex '37 Packard that should be arriving any day now.
Silver Foxx Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Beautiful build , your work is always top class , well done .
bbowser Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 From the photos it looks every bit as nice as John's. Glad you finally got even with the floor
sjordan2 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 After the Packard, you could do a superb job on the 1/16 Revell Rolls Phantom II Continental, and turn the 1/16 Rolls Phantom III Sports Saloon into a woody shooting brake.
Watertown Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Harry, I've seen John's in person, and it is beautiful, and now having seen yours, I can say without hesitation, you've got nothing to hang your head about. This is a first rate build. Thanks for sharing, these are the examples I most enjoy. Well done!
John Teresi Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Harry.........a very stunning build in everyway...........you have a knack for building these old classics.......VERY VERY well done
Atmobil Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Very nice, you have done a lot of work on this one and it has turned out as a gem.
gtx6970 Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Looks amazing. I like your taste in modeling subjects. I keep thinking I need one of the 1.25th scale versions
tim boyd Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Harry...can't wait to see what you do with that Entex '37 Packard. I've always been intrigued by that kit. But after building the Entex Mustang II fastback back in '75 or so (this build commissioned by AMT for me to build, for use at their upcoming sales reps meeting where they were going to introduce their own lineup of 1/16th scalemodel kits) , it was such a horrible kit that I never wanted to buy the Packard. Based on what you've done with your other large scale classic builds...I am sure you'll turn out a spectacular model. Like I said, can't wait to see what you do for it). TIM (PS - yes I am among those that mourn the fact that JoHan's announced plans to do a 1930's Package in their Gold Cup kit series around 1968 or so, never materialized. And yes, I do have the Monogram Classics Packard Roadster kit set aside in my "might build" kit stack....TB Edited February 15, 2015 by tim boyd
landman Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 I have an Entex '37 Packard that should be arriving any day now. I have one of those half apart that I want to restore. I'll be sure to watch your thread to learn from the best. That Bentley is one of the best models I have ever seen.

Just to add to that last post. the instruction sheet says they had access to the original car and took meticulous measurements. That's evident in the kit. Here's the kit, and I can provide excellent reference if you want it. Beautiful kit, molded in accurate maroon: Poor reissue with lots of flash and bad chrome, molded in red: Edited February 15, 2015 by sjordan2
Twokidsnosleep Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) That is a beautiful car, Skip. I love the long hood and flow of the lines in body and fenders Burgundy paint, whitewall tires and matching wheels caps also sweet Edited February 16, 2015 by Twokidsnosleep
Duntov Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 OK --- Harry you have shamed me into getting my kit out of the storage bin --- 1:24 version though --- You did a great job!!! Thanks for posting this !!! Regards Bill (Duntov)

That's evident in the kit. Here's the kit, and I can provide excellent reference if you want it. Beautiful kit, molded in accurate maroon: Poor reissue with lots of flash and bad chrome, molded in red: I built this kit, from the red/maroon box art directly above, and it was outstanding - no flash or any other issues that I recall. But mine was purchased and built around 1974 or 75, before JoHan's quality started to slip. Mine was also molded in a deep burgundy plastic color, very similar to the illustration, rather than the red of Skip's purchase. So if you are considering buying the kit in the version directly above, I'd recommend a close inspection of the kit contents so you don't find the problems in the version that Skip found in his....TIM Edited February 17, 2015 by tim boyd
