Beautiful looking kit!! All of these large car kits build up into really 'special' looking specimens! (IF YOU BUILD 'EM)!! Yeah Mathew, it's the British who usually use the turn "Door Cards". I'm not sure, & I don't want to offend anybody about having mostly 'small' cars, or 'cardboard' usage.✌️

Great kit Matt. I was given a built up of this kit years,ago. I finished it off and passed it along to another friend because it was to large to display. I found the quality of this kit to be very good. It really builds up nice.

That's the type that I would do slow and methodically studied the history and what was the paint colors they had for that year and duplicate that like take weeks and months to do this one to make it look like someone took the real thing and shrunk it down that is a beautiful score right there for a large scale model can't wait to see future build on this

Would really love to see a build series on this one. Cars from that era, especially A-C-D's are my favorites!

That kit is bout as nice as a Rolls Royce , lot detail . Thank you for showing this. Also Matt some of us know way life is , you get your expansion one day .

I love it Matt, what a great deal, Thank you for showing, I need to follow your build on it!

I love those large scale kits. I appreciate you sharing them. Hopefully you can get your expansion done soon and have more room build these larger kits. Best of luck.

I’m fairly certain that I got this model for Christmas around 1978. Think my Italian Uncle gave me it

Man. That thing is sweet. So big. Those white walls are absolutely next level. I bet you could find some round gauge decals. Pretty common.

WOW that is one HUGE kit! Excellent unboxing and review! Love the parts and can't wait to see it built buddy!

Very nice looking kit. Tons of detail. Thanks for sharing.

That's a really great find Matthew and a real steal at the price you paid! I remember seeing those kits in my local hobby store back in the 80's and you couldn't touch one for under $125. Back then, $125 for a model kit was outrageous, lol. Finding one now unopened is like finding a needle in a pile of needles. You're right, building it properly, doing your usual outstanding paint job, (several bottles of paint) and rechroming everything is probably a couple weeks alone. I can't wait to see the videos for it. Thanks for sharing it with us! 👍

That is one great kit Cant wait to see it built up

So cool

I have at least most of the Monogram 1/8th scale car kits. Also a 1/6th scale Tamiya Harley and a few 1/12th kits. Many Entex and Minicraft 1/16th and Revell 1/16,th dragster and funny cars. They all take up a lot of space. But they were all bought for very good prices before prices went through the roof.

Love the outro music - classy!

When my dad's friend build his Garbriel/Hubley Model A, he used doll house hinges for the folding hood and the doors.

They're called door cards because in older cars the were flat and made from a dense fiberboard or cardboard. This is a really cool kit. I really prefer cars from the 50s and before.

Wow, I've never seen such a big kit. That's Huge! Thanks so much for sharing.

thats one of the coolest kits ive ever seen. i would try and find one except i dont have the display room for something that large. please build it soon would love to see it going together

Ooh, nice one 👍I dont remember that brand or the phantom 111 but i did build a 1/16 phanton 11 from Revell in 1978. It was my xmas gift for that year. I was only 10yrs old then so it would have been brush painted with humbrol enamels. Great memories, thanks for uploading.

Have you ever heard of Pocher kits? The older kits - no longer made - would put this model to shame. Their newer models are quite nice too..!

Aw, c'mon Matthew! Paint those guages flat white then paint in the separate lines and numbers. They are real big it should be no problem. LOL! I thought you were messing with us......look, cant you see them? Nope. Then you got the light just right on them..... What a beautiful kit! You stole it. Cheers Terry

Beautiful large scale Phantom II kit Matt, love those wide whitewall tires and wire spoked wheels. Look forward to you working your magic on this kit with your MCW paint.😊

That is amazing. RR WOW . Amazing giant . Just great 😊

Dang ! That's huge and nice find

Mathew, SCMA Charleston contest, Saturday I hope you can make it with your BUG.

A kit to look for is the Entex 1928 Mercedes Benz Type SS. You wind the wire wheels in a jig & it is 1/16th scale. It is a fun challenging build.

Big you say. I've got Pocher 1/8 Bugatti and Alfa Romeo. That's big but the boxes are not much bigger except they are a lot deeper.

I'm sure I have this kit , I got mine in 1977 or 78 in Australia , I have to start digging ...

That would be a very interesting build!

Never heard of that brand before, looks like a nice kit.👍😊

Matthew, with a kit this big you need to learn a new language. Hood is Bonnet, trunk is Boot. gas is Petrol. Now find a Queen and some corgies, Hey! Just kidding !! Thanks for un-boxing.

The biggest model car I ever had was die cast zinc. I got it at Marshall-Field's in Chicago about 1968. I can't remember what car it was, but it was like 21" long. Nothing fit right on it, a lot of parts were badly cast and had warps and sags in them. There was a tube of some sort of cement to put it together with, but it wasn't neatly strong enough to keep it together. I finally decided the only way it could be done and kept together was to heat up parts in the oven (Mom loved that), use clamps and hunks of wood to striaghten them, and use Bondo to actually put it together. After it was painted and everything, my dog knocked it off the shelf and it came apart. We bondo'ed it back together and used it as a carbombing prop in a home movie I made a couple of years later. It blew up great with an M-80!

A month ago, I found this kit, unopened, in a local thrift store for $300. I had no idea if this was a good price or not, so I passed.

Matt Quality cars of that period had the gear lever (shifter?) on the drivers right hence the cutaway in the front seat. You probably know that by now.

i have this kit in the revell classic black box. It is a challenge to build, but the detail is amazing.

cool kits Mat happy thanks giving i think its thanks giving here in Canada

Nice score! That is one of the biggest kit boxes I've seen! I'm sure they didn't do well on the cost of shipping! Lol I'm sure the door card derives from the fact that they were made from cardboard and weren't much more than that in the early cars.

Matt Charleston note was from Don Franklin! I do not know where Snekywhatever came from?

So many "that's what she said" jokes in this one!!😂 In all seriousness, that is a huge model and you could add tons of detail to that one.

Have a great build.

I agree with Cassandra. I still miss Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben. Why do we want to destroy icons that we all grew up with and loved. Sorry, Pearl Milling just ain’t the same.

Nice Kit❤️👍😎

Never heard of that brand, but seems like a nice kit. I've got a 1/16 Cadillac from Entex I believe, I like the large scale to build but they take up a lot of shelf space!

Incredible ?? I like ...

Love the Rolls-Royce

The car was made by ENTECS...Anmark if I'm not mistaken is their European mark.

I had something similar to this years ago. I painted it in the scheme of "The Yellow Rolls Royce", looked sharp...

very cool tires!

That will show well withe Packard! Nice kit!

I believe the Rolls was an Entex kit the first time I built one YEARS ago...

I have one of these Rolls Royce and i have won some awards with it it was a big pain in the but ! but it was a Tamiya model kit!

You really need the bigger model room so you can build and store these larger kits. There is a Gunze kit of this same year and scale so that may have been part of its history before or after. Guess I could check scalemates

In the old world we call a ‘fender’ a wing, as in extremity, like a wing of a house, but somehow in the USA a new word was invented for it.

Ever considered Pocher? I love the 1/8 scale models. They sold several RR models.

My brother just picked one up from Andy's hobby headquarters for 39 bucks doing a quick video of what his will look like video should be up in a few it's uploading now

Ive heard various auto detailers and a couple auto revivers refer to the inner door panels as Door Cards. Seems to be an eastern midwest thing as Ive never heard it on the west cost.

The driver being exposed mimics when they used to have carriages and the driver was outside controlling the horses. Still sucks. You're gonna have to add two buildings if you keep buying kits.

Thats so big you could pop warm led lights in the headlights!

Good Lord above😂, awesome kits! I dont know but I would store those under the bed😅

Revell Germany used to make a 1/16 1934 Phantom. I kind of messed up on it, so I packed it up and put it up halfway done. I still intend to finish it at some point, but I think it’s probably the coolest model that I’ve come across. I wish I could put a picture on the comments so I could show you what I’m talking about

Enter made a Duesenberg Speedster that was fantastic in the 80's

Back then RR did not break down they just required attention!

Door card , because many vehicles the door panel is just covered press board, almost cardboard with vinyl or cloth over it, hence card. Love these big ole kits, just dont have the space for them.

DOOR CARD - because it was made of hard cardboard material then wrapped in vinyl/fabric/leather

That was a Gunze Sangyo kit in 1980.

Mat you are not the only ASMR Modeller

Hi Mathew, I live in Jacksonville, Fl. I'm looking someone to do some mold making mold making for me could you help. By the way great channel. Thank you Walter

Now you only need to get the model a pick up, and delivery. Please build the Rolls for 2024 ACME.

PLEASE build it!

1978 revell kit

What Scale, is this??? Wow! 1/16th,😁

You want a ginormous kit, get a Pocher kitt! About 28 inches long

Brits seem to be big on calling them "cards", and Canadians to a lesser degree. Like calling the trunk the "boot" and fenders "wings"...

Cool kit. The first time I heard Door Cards was on Wheelers Dealer tv show.

Do you think that any model kit company or diecast might release the Ron Capps throwback of Don the snake Prudhomme hot wheels Napa Toyota supra funny car?

Door card is a European thing, like they call a fender a "guard"

You were thinking of the Gakken brand maybe??

Just finished the same kit. Cannot figure out how to attach a photo.

Are you gonna film the build as you're doing it ?

Cool kit.😊 Awesome buy. Nice review. Maybe cover the seats and interior with real leather. I plan on doing that with my cord build😊

Nice, but not my desire. I would prefer a metal kit that can handle real play from my 4 year old that loves to play with them. She is careful, but likes to play with them normally.

One thing about the larger kits: easier for us old farts with bad eyesight to add details hehehe.

😮✌🏼🏆✅

I think the driver, being outside, comes from the time of carriages. Rich people wanted to have their privacy, so cars were built with the driver's seat on the outside of the body, so as not to mix in and have their privacy. That's why nowadays limousines have a dividing window.

It,s a waste of money nothing fits ther been said !!!!! Junk done wheels are Crap and l m being nice Family hour don't bye it called the number still waiting ?
