CDW got a reaction from popeye the sailor in 1936 Rolls Royce Phantom III by CDW - Revell - 1:16 scale
Oh, and please let me also mention that between some academic scholarships, grants, and her working part time jobs, all her education costs have been paid in full. She owes nothing, nada, zilch. I am really proud of the way she put her nose to the grindstone and did it all without a ridiculous accumulation of debt. For reasons I don't fully understand, some of her classmates through high school who were equally good students with consistent high grades, honors societies, and so forth, have graduated under a mountain of debt.

Good for her.
I hope her classmates who were poorer financial planners at least got degrees that prepared them with marketable skills.

My baby girl graduated with her bachelors degree this morning in New Hampshire. Wife and big sisters are up there with her while I babysit our dog, Snowball, here at home in sunny Florida.

Well done to Miss CDW on graduation, and a big up for doing it debt free😉

CDW got a reaction from popeye the sailor in 1936 Rolls Royce Phantom III by CDW - Revell - 1:16 scale
Looking at the three engine compartment photos, the 1st is somewhat different than the other 2. I think that possibly the first photo is of a different year model, maybe? The first photo seems more original as the other two photos appear to be maybe, restored? For sure the second two photos are of a cleaner engine compartment, but I think maybe the first one is more original. Any thoughts?
My kit does not have what looks in the first photo to be some type of coolant reservoir just behind the radiator and in front of the cylinder heads.
Been off on other tangents of late and haven't done a whole lot of work on the model. Will have some update photos, hopefully in the next few days. The age of this kit and the engineering of it bring back memories as I work on it. Reminiscent in some ways of the old JoHan classic car kits but a much larger, 1:16 scale. A little crude by today's standards. More attention required to prepping the parts before assembly as well as filling minor gaps and other little flaws here and there. This Rolls Royce has a very distinct and unusual chassis and suspension setup. You'll see it when I get there.🙂

The yellowish tint on the parts tree is the clear paint under the chrome that has not been removed yet. In another hour or so, I will scrub the parts a bit with a toothbrush and rinse them off. They will be bare plastic then.
