Unique 1/24

Posted by: @geoff-jowett

@john-barry thanks John. We've discussed before our preference for vans/trucks to be displaying company/business logos, graphics etc. I've just ordered this. Been after one at a reasonable price for a while pretty much solely because of the great Waterman graphics. Does look like an old kit so I'm hoping the decals are OK.

If ever there were a kit designed for you.................

Production Friday! Today we have a 1925 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost from the Franklin Mint. This is the production version. Enjoy!

Prototype and Photo Piece Saturday! Here we have FM’s prototype and photo piece of the 1925 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost. Noticed some of the differences? Paramount Studios shot the flyer photos. This one is fully hand built and painted. The hood is plastic instead of diecast. I added the plexiglass windshield. It was removed by Paramount during the photo shoot. In the comparison pictures, the production version is on the left. Enjoy!

Very interesting piece. This model is pictured on the official brochure, but only the images from behind. The main image on the brochure is different model/build as the tires have the production threads.

This photo-piece also has an obvious error (actually x2, and corrected in the production model), did anyone else picked it up? That same error was made later by FM in the 1929 RR.

Besides the tire thread difference, the trunk surface of the photo-piece is smooth, the fabric-like surface was added later to the molds. So, the exhaust pipe hole.

Where Is The Engine Sunday? Today we have a one-off factory-built Ferrari 250 GT Sperimentale from Tecnomodel. It is 1/24^th and the roof-mounted wiper is not installed. The engine is coming tomorrow. Enjoy!

I'm intrigued!
