Revell 1/24 Bentley 4.5L Blower Now Finished :)

started the engine today all in Alclad Metals range and mil spec black

wow thats a nice clean engine.

thanks mate still a bit more to do on it fingers crossed get some done tomorow

Hello!

Lookin' good! I also have this baby stashed. I wonder if you will modify this kit - it has some spots like the spoke wheels or headlight protectors that could be worth reconsidering. Good luck with your build and have a nice day

Paweł

cheers mate will look into that but no way i can re spoke the wheels like i have saw on other builds i only have one eye and its part sighted lol

Well, sorry to hear that... For one eye, you're doing a great, clean job! I'll be watching, good luck!

Paweł

Neat stuff.  I've always wanted to see this kit come together.  Following along.  Looks really good so far.  

Looking great!  I will be following this build.

cheers guys Dark green arrived today so painted the chassis and other parts then fitted the engine and started to paint the fine details will try to get some daylight photos at some point cant get the lighting right to show the green off properly

Hello Fred!

The chassis is lookin' very nice!

Did you notice that on the real thing the hood, although also green, has a distinctively different shade of green than the rest of the body? Thought you might want to check this.

Good luck with your build and have a nice day

Paweł

cheers mate yeah i noticed that some is matt and some is gloss

Hello!

Yeah, I guess you could put it this way. I guess that's because the body was build by a company other than Bentley, and the hood and fenders are factory Bentley parts.

Good luck with your build and have a nice day

Well;

Ay;

 When you get er done , Kin  I   have da keys ! That is one fine looking car .  T.B. 

Great progress!  Really looking good. 

cheers guys

got wheels , windscreen and other small parts done , its now 75% done and looking ok so far

i just made one grill for the bentley lights lol i wound a a bit of copper wire around a drill bit the same size as the grill then cut it , soldered it , gave it a file then cut some spare grill mesh glued it in with super glue , painted it with black alclad primer then alclad stainless steel , looks much better than the plastic one as you can see , do the other one tomorow :)

Was not happy with the grills i made when i fitted them , i felt the wire i used was a little to thick so today i removed them and made new one`s with thinner wire , happy with these one`s painted in Alclad Steel :)

Wonderful! Now all you need are figures of Steed and Emma...

Nice work.  Looks really good! 

cheers guys

She is now finished i cut the bonnet to have it in the open position so you can see the engine , Painted in Alclad 2 The Original paints , the only decals used was the numberplates the rest was painted with stencil / paint masks made by the great guys at Orlee and are avalible  in 1/24 and 1/12 scale

This looks gorgeous. The realism is outstanding. I love it. 

Thanks for sharing!
