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

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 :slight_smile:

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 ones with thinner wire , happy with these ones painted in Alclad Steel :slight_smile:

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

Nice work. Looks really good! [Y]

cheers guys

Bentley is on hold till paint masks arrive as dont want to use decals

It is looking great! Cool build. Great progress. I am following.

cheers mate

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!

thanks mate and thanks for your comments when i was building it :slight_smile:

Turned out very nice! Stencils are cool. I never noticed that the thin red stripes are offset in the white stripes until I looked at your Bently. I thought you made a mistake! And my mother was British!

lol thanks mate :slight_smile:
