    Classic airfix bently blower

    I have now decided to take the plunge on this one.

    I shall be following the airfix mag build on this one.

    The first start has been to make a new radiator grill by sanding off the moulded grill and scratch built a new grill by using the wire mess from a kitchen splash gaurd as my first try didn't look to great but here are the pics.

    I like those grills Peter, that is some nice work. This should be a great build, you and cars seem to just work well together.

      For the wire guards over the head lamps, try looking at filter mesh in a kitchen tap diffuser...

            I have a fairly comprehensive PDF file of detailing this kit if you want to use it.

            It's my own work - so no copyright issues.

            Just pm me - I can't see how to upload it here.

            Roy.

              JUst upload it as if it was a photo. It should (read used to) be able to handle it. I have done it before anyway.

              I could be rather interested to have a look at that as well
