1⁄241930 4.5litre Supercharged Bentley
3
Comments
The model is Heller's 1/24 1930 4.5litre supercharged Bentley, built OOB except for stretched sprue ignition wires.
Paintwork varies, as the original had a fabric covered wooden body. Painted metal parts are Revell 52 Brunswick Green, the body is a mixture of Tamiya X5 gloss green and XF11 JN green with satin varnish, the folded hood is XF11 and the upholstery is bare plastic, coated with Windsor & Newton green ink and then satin varnished to represent leather.

That's a very attractive build. I wonder if that is what inspired me to turn on "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the kids tonight".

Dave,
That's a beauty! It looks like you buffed the exterior. I didn't know that Heller made this model.
