      Well that's a proper introduction!

      That kit, its subject, never boring! -I have been collecting information, on and off for years, reviewing other peoples builds, photographing the actual car many years ago, and a amassing a small library of reference books. Someday I'll tackle it, but for now, I'll take inspiration from your work!

      Thank you for sharing!

      Thank you for the comment. When I started building the model, I had no idea what I would have to overcome during the construction. I had everything I wanted to adjust, but I gradually had to deal with the inaccuracies of the kit and the absence of details. Even so, I had to compromise on some things.

      Nice model Rolfi. That old Bentley kit certainly leaves a lot of scope for extra detailing and corrections.I
      It first came out about 50 years ago. Airfix changed the number plate in a re issue but never got the badge in the right place on the radiator shell.

      Thanks for watching.
      Yes, the sign on the radiator ... It's still wrong ... I watched some buildings that tried to move it, but it didn't convince me ...
      You just have to come to terms with it ... it was fun anyway :)

      Thanks Rolfi for the excellent photo’s! It inspires me to buy one myself, but I will never reach the high quality standard of you!
