Hello Everyone,
again no aircraft from my side. Again not WW1. However, I thought it still could be interesting for you. So feel free to take a closer look on the Benz Patent-Motorwagen from 1886, the first ever built car.
It is a very nice kit from Ukrainian company ICM. Out of the box it is already beautiful. PE parts are included for the spoke wheels and chain drives.
I made some modifications. For example oiling device from clear part, an "electric box" + wires were added, ignition contact at camshaft was added, fuel pipe, cooling water pipes, "ignition key", ...
The leather belt was made from Tamiya masking tape. It was a little bit tricky but in the end it worked quite well.
Building time was exactly 3 months. A German build log can be found here: https://community.revell.de/viewtopic.php?t=9243 (https://community.revell.de/viewtopic.php?t=9243)
Here are some pictures (unfortunately with a lint on the wooden floor, please ignore):

Wow, Rafael, that's truly stunning! I'm waiting for the photo where you're in frame and driving away! What a beautiful piece of work - with all your extra effort it really does look like a 1/1 example. Just beautiful!

Beautiful job - I’m having a crack at this one as well…. I wish I read German for your build log but a picture says a thousand words. Anyhow it looks lovely and I love the darker wood tone you used. Cheers Matt

Thank you WD and Matt

What a super build. I thought that you had photographed the original in a museum and then posted the pictures!
