CDW got a reaction from Edwardkenway in 1936 Rolls Royce Phantom III by CDW - Revell - 1:16 scale
Thanks for that! I never knew they made/sold elbows. Never saw them in a brick-and-mortar store. I thought about gentle heat and bending of solid rod, but that's rather hot-or-miss in previous experience. As many time or more, I wound up with deformed elbows that were not very appealing. With a third hand, I could probably do an acceptable job using a heat gun and some appropriate size metal tubing to form the 90's. Getting the bends in the right place at the correct angles will be a whole lot easier with a 2-part putty, I think. Those Plastruct elbows could work a trick, though.

At this point I'm thinking about rolling out some Milliput in the correct diameter, shaping the correct bends to replace the rubber hose. The rubber hose is wrong on several counts, not the least of which, it doesn't clear the radiator/water pump fan. Need to get my exhaust system in place then experiment with the 2-part putty.

Don’t know why it took me so long to discover this kit was out there. It’s been around for a while but I never noticed it. I’m sort of fond of sea planes.

There are six spark plugs on each side of the heads. Only the outer six on each head are visible. The inner plug wiring will take off from the distributor caps in that general direction but remain unseen from there. On the real RR, the inner wiring ran through a tube on each side.

Thanks Craig.
I had seen them on the two stores websites. Lovely subjects. I'm sorely tempted but I'm not sure I could do them justice - but its nearly Christmas and I deserve a present.

While the distributors and spark plugs are prominent at this scale, I’ll go ahead and fashion some spark plug wiring. A dozen spark plug wires on each cylinder head for this V-12!

The kit provides some funky-looking rubber tubing that connects to the front of each exhaust manifold, then gets routed to discharge under the frame. Not sure exactly what the purpose of this would have been in RL, and it looks odd to me. Going to find something that looks better than the rubber hose and replace it. But would still like to know what it was for…then it dawned on me, it’s part of the exhaust system, connecting the manifolds to the exhaust pipe! Maybe I will just paint the rubber hose once it’s all connected together.

I’ve been piddling a little each day on the RR, but the spirit is weak for this one for some odd reason. Having motivational issues. 😀

Supposedly, a forgotten storage warehouse in NZ was uncovered and vendors who previously had ordered container size quantities a couple of years ago were fulfilled. Only two vendors in the USA I know of got/or are getting their orders delivered. Once these are gone, there are no more(supposedly) unless production resumes by others. WnW are finished (supposedly).

Your Sunderland kit would indeed lend Itself to a Fantastic Dio, loving the engine details also.

I built the Airfix version when I was a kid - quite and impressive size even in 1/72.
