Quite a few pieces have come off the sprues over the past 41 years but it's all there (I hope).
I'm looking forward to getting started.

Tim gets out the Rolls
I'll be building the 1905 Rolls Royce. This is a 1974 boxing of the kit.

Re: Tim gets out the Rolls
Not much progress as I've been working on my Strikemaster but I have got the body halves together.
I got everything lined up as well as possible but there will still be some filling and sanding to do to get rid of the seams.

Re: Tim gets out the Rolls
After some filling and sanding I fitted the floor and gave it some primer, which revealed more filling and sanding required. 
I have got the seats painted and its never to early for a quick mock up.
More soon.

Re: Tim gets out the Rolls
Looking good. I actually saw one similar to this at the RR Owners Club meeting last month (no, I am not an RR owner). I was surprised at how big the real thing is.

Re: Tim gets out the Rolls
Good start and it looks a nice little kit
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Re: Tim gets out the Rolls
Thanks for the comments. After some more filling and sanding I gave it a coat of British Racing Green from a Humbrol rattle can.
It looks like putting it on the stand has opened up the gaps again so it looks like a bit more filling and sanding is in order.
