Thank you Don, though I don't quite consider myself a master at this yet.

Here is another one, called: "Pinto" Power: Ford 1.6. 2.0 & 2.3 OHC I-4 Appreciation Day.

Ford Kent Engine Owner's Club Meet

Ford Kent Engine Owner's Club Meet

Image
"Kent" Engine Owners Club Meet Up by IFHP97, on Flickr

All of these cars (exepting the modern on the street) are power by versions of the OHV "Kent" I-4, first introduced on the 105E Anglia in 1959. Left to right, starting in back, we have 997 pre-crossflow, 1600 crossflow, 1100 crossflow, 1800 BDA, 1300 Endura E, 1200 pre-crossflow, 1300 crossflow, 1600 Valencia, 997 pre-crossflow, 1340 pre-crossflow, 957 Valencia, 1500 GT pre-crossflow, 1600 GT crossflow, 1300 crossflow and 997 pre-crossflow. I did some reserach (after I took these photos) an was shocked to discover that the final Kent veriation was the Brazilian SOHC "Zetec" Ro-Cam which was also used in Europe as the Duratec 8v.

They are nice displays Michael, wish I had some spare room to do the same with my models. I need a good lottery win so I can buy a much bigger home with lots of rooms and big garages for the real cars as well. I can but dream.

Yeah Paul, I know that dream too. All of my displays are one night stands on the dinning room table. Everything needs to be put away before I can go to bed.

That Matchbox Zodiac is a classic. It will be fun to see what you do with a HO backdrop.
