2 cars from 1930.

A Union 1/24 Bentley Blower and a Monogram Packard Speedster Phaeton. They came up OK. Packard was going really well until I dropped and broke the luggage rack and made a hash of the repair. I failed to correctly align the body and chassis on the Bentley. On the plus side with the Packard, unfortunately I cant get a decent pic, I've woodgrained painted the dash and very delicately silver painted 2 of the dials. If I'd attempted that a couple of months ago I would have painted half the car silver! The silver metallic paint on the Bentley dash is very realistic. Unfortunately no engine came with the Bentley kit. Checking pics of examples of each actual car, I've left the plastic body colors and on the Packard my colors on the interior and tops are very close. Same with the Bentley except I may be a little light in color with the canvas top.

And with my FM and DM 1930s Packards

I really wanted the Bentley as a pair for my FM model.

Like all of us here I'm a diecast collector, started with my first 1/24 in 1987 and now have around 500 1/24s, 40 odd 1/43s, and 3 1/18s (space), pleasingly all now on display. I'd love to be adding new quality 1/24s regularly but we all know the current position. For me these 1/24, 1/25 kits are really helping to fill the void. I cannot believe how many there are, must be 100s, possibly 1000s of them. All types of vehicles, from all eras, from all continents. What I'm finding is the opportunity to add a model to make a pair or more of one car model, as with the Bentley. I'm keen on 1947/48 Fords and there is a coupe, convertible and woody to go with DMs Sportsman and sedan. A 1958 Edsel sedan to go with FMs convertible and DMs wagon, 2 other Bugatti Royales to go with FMs two. And many more. I strongly  suggest the kits are really worth a go.
