Reworked some of the engine. When I first got this back I had visions of turning it into Chitty but then thought I would check out the different versions this engine was used in and decided on the boat tail version. What's funny is the first guess a lot of people made on what I was doing with it was Chitty (I thought turning it into Chitty was quite original and no one would think of that) I quite liked the idea so my question is (I dont know how to do a poll) which would you like to see most the red boat tail Bentley or Chitty.        Ken's the name modeling's the game.

That's looking really good Ken. It's got to be the Boat tail !!
Quite intrigued by the novel container for your paint thinners in the previous post.

That's cleaning up really well Ken!  When you consider just how old this classic Airfix kit is today, you've got to admit they did a pretty good job on it way back then!

Yes it's good for its age but it's still selling well (just look at the plethora of builds of it. Because of that it would be nice if they updated it with maybe some PE and a bit more details. Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Hi all started on the body (that rear end wont be pointed it is cut square on the car) It also flares out over the suspension lots of work on this part just wondering whether I will have to stain the wood red or if the mahogany when varnished will be red enough, I think on the actual car it is stained.    Ken's the name modeling's the game.

It helps with blending what I imagine I'm creating with what I actually create. Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Couldn't resist trying a bit of varnish, I must as after 2 or three coats I think it might look alright.    Ken's the name modeling's the game.
