1923 model T pannel from AMT

just saw this at my local hobby shop, any one know much about it. Didn't pick it up today. Looks to be stock only.

Thanks

Old tool, was stock only in past issues. However, lots of parts from other T kits work fine to rod it. The Revell 26 T tub/sedan chassis and fenders slides under with minimal effort, I've got a couple in progress. If you rod it, I'd build/bash a better cowl/firewall area. Body panels best if you rig them squarely when glueing. 40+yo tool doesn't have really positive location. 

It's a cool bodystyle. I've got a few. 

PS welcome to the board.

Thanks for the information. I can think of a few commercial vehicles that it would be perfect for. No plans to hot rod it, but it's always nice to have parts for the spare box. Thanks for the welcome, I've been lurking a long time.

Stock it'll be nice. Has separate tires from wheels, so better than other T's. Probably can use stock bits from AMT '27 touring car too for later build. I agree, body is best part, commercial tall C-cab front can be cut into boom truck, all kinds of stuff. There's a builder here, whose name I forget, that does the most awesome T stock buildups. He's used the kit for a few builds. Posts a lot, so should be searchable. 

Roof is fiddliest part of body, build sides and floor, square up, then mess with roof fit and windshield/cowl. The top of windshield frame doesn't fit front of roof, notches are pretty useless. One of those "real modeler moments" you hear about here . Other than that it's pretty straightforward. Art Anderson knows a ton too, guess because he bought a T new  (gotta pick on Art)
