Can anybody tell me if these old Entex kits are any good? I'm talking about the early 1900 to mid 1900's autos. jim

A long time ago I built the de Dion Bouton. It was much more detailed than the equivalent Aurora 1/16th autos. I'm not sure exactly who manufactured their auto kits but they were worth getting, IMHO.

Probably the biggest "problem" is the extensive chroming of the kits - you are going to wind up replacing much of it to get the parts cleaned up.

Entex ......... Some decent and some bad. They need extensive work. Fit is always a problem. The chrome parts are usually problems.

Maybe this one:
ENTEX 1/16 SCALE 1939 JAGUAR SS100 CAR KIT (it's on ebay now)
If you want to work in this larger scale, you might look at the Minicraft 3 Wheel Morgan. That is a very nice build and a beautiful model. The Airfix 1/12 Bentley is a very nice kit if you can find one at a reasonable price.
