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.🙂

CDW reacted to Egilman in 1936 Rolls Royce Phantom III by CDW - Revell - 1:16 scale
The first pic look like it's taken of an everyday driver, the second and third pics look like a restored show car... the coolant expansion chamber on the left side radiator hose prevented overheating... This was the period where thermal efficiency was taking over ICE engineering... They learned that a pressurized coolant system virtually eliminated overheating....
I would say two different dates of manufacture.... It's the logical conclusion....

CDW got a reaction from FriedClams in 1936 Rolls Royce Phantom III by CDW - Revell - 1:16 scale
Painted the heads with Tamiya semi gloss black, then masked them off and painted the block with Mr Metal Color iron. After spraying it on, gave the iron a little buff with a soft cotton rag. I think this is more convincing than the AK paste.

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.

CDW got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Reggiane Re.2005 by Javlin - FINISHED - Pacific Coast Models - 1/32
There was a Fokker D.VII, Sopwith Camel, and a SPAD as I recall. an oddball box-scale sort of series of WW1 planes came out in the '60's. Very good for their time.

They remind me of the Classic Airframe and Special Hobby kits from that era. Nice, limited run kits. Do you have the PCM Spitfire Mk IX?

CDW got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Reggiane Re.2005 by Javlin - FINISHED - Pacific Coast Models - 1/32
I think I was buying PCM kits in the late 90’s or maybe early 2000’s. I bought a few but never built one. They came out with stuff no one else did. Glad to see you are building this one. Mine are long gone, traded away for something else.

CDW got a reaction from Canute in Camel by RGL - FINISHED - Machinen Krieger - 1/20
What a great model. I love things like this. So much visual appeal and the fact that it's so much different than what we are used to seeing makes it stand out. Now you have drawn me to look at the entire series of these type kits. Never knew about them before. My grandsons would love stuff like this.
