Pleased how this has come up. I'm continuing to make less mistakes, there's only a couple of small glue smudges here. Great model, lots of detail, note interior chrome door handles, chrome hinges on boot case etc. Plenty available for around $20-$30.

One of my favorite Pll coachbuilds. There was a similar RR in one of the "Mummy" movies set in Egypt. Just add palm trees.

thank you gentlemen, much appreciated. Heres the real car, and...."in 1934 that His Highness Dharmendrasinhji Lakhajiraj, the Thakore Sahib (Lord) of Rajkot, decided to replace his 20-year-old Rolls-Royce with a new one – not just any Rolls-Royce, but one that has become renowned as the “Star of India,” named for the famous 563-carat star sapphire."

It is a great kit, and a skilled modeller could really add to it. Enhancements could include BMF around the side windows, the door logos and number plates coloured, the correct trim added to the hubcaps etc. Would love to see one of you guys have a go at it.
