I've tried Googling Model A Street rods but none I found showed the engine area but I've built a few in my young modelling days and as far as I can remember they all had fans, seems illogical not to have one IMHO.

I've just had a thought, check the chromed sprue as the fan could be there.

Hi all I've decided, as I used to customise bikes in my youth I would do a custom paint job on this I've started the background sky, I'm intending to do dragons and stuff on it, I've done it matt so I can draw and paint on it then in the end I will gloss it.

It's a Model B.....

As for fans. Yes it should have one, unless the radio has an electric fan fitted?

Hi all another update, my customising days are obviously behind me, I used to be good at this, still the advantage is I can always respray with another job, and I'm already thinking of something

 Involving black and gold.

Just leave it as is as there is nowt wrong with it and don't forget we are our own worst critics.

Hi all here is the next update, I really am enjoying this (I know the paint job ain't the greatest but I've not ruined the kit, the way I've painted it, it's easily over sprayed and none of it will show) this is a great kit, I was going to build this oob but I'm sorely tempted to add lots of detail, I'm just worried if I do i may end up ruining another one, I seem to be in a catch 22 at the moment, I want to do more but I'm worried if I do i will ruin it.
