kpnuts got a reaction from tarbrush in Bentley 4.5 litre (altered version) by kpnuts 1/12 Airfix
Started on the seats (I will be adding padding to the edges where the red paint is when I find something suitable) I didn't do too much weathering to the seats as its supposed to be well looked after.

Next update working on the rear wheel this is what pocher would have you use.
So for the horrendously expensive price of £7.50(including postage)I got these.
Money well spent, the eagle eyed among you will notice I even put the yellow paint on the allen bolts to show if they have loosened. They would even have you attach the rear sprocket with Phillip's screws.

So I added the exhaust it was very difficult to show the bad fit in a photo but it took 3 days countless swearing and not a small amount of plasticard and filler to achieve a decent fit (I even took the spre plugs out so I could get at the screws holding it together to loosen them off and try giggling it to try and get it to fit)(and this is not the worst part of the kit) the radiator on this kit is a joke (wait till I get to it and you will see what I mean) dont get me wrong it's a huge kit with loads of potential but they did so much penny pinching on it.

So the throttle bodys finished and added next problem the awful fit of the exhaust (yes on a kit this expensive there are bad fitting parts)

Lots of wiring added (I used a stripped out ethernet cable to get those wires) finding the right thickness and right colours for the wires was the hardest part of this build.

Ok so even though the paint on the kit was perfect this is the new colour.

More work on the engine.
The banjo connectors dont come with the kit you have to manufacture those yourself in my case with a bead some pipe and a bolt.
Also any wiring you have to make yourself.

Added the expansion springs to the exhaust and made a start on the engine.
That's a large 1/24 car next to it to give an idea of size

So the first thing you build is the exhaust (which is also the first thing you have to add detail to) I started by plugging the holes from the screws with bits of off cut sprue then added the expansion spring brackets (made from paper clips)
I also made the exhaust valve from brass sheet and the lambda sensor patch from a Phillip's screw cover

I think you're justified to have an ego on this there is some excellent modelling skills being shown here.

Hi all well I've made a big decision (I thought there was too much back end on it) so I've decided theres enough room for rear seats. There were lots of coach builders in those days and you could have it built anyway you liked if you had the money, so whose to say it wasnt like this.
The only thing now I've bitten the bullet is should I stick with a single seat or go with a double and have I gone back far enough.
