Jim B Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Finished this up today. It's from the AMT Fruit Wagon kit. The build was basically box-stock, but I didn't exactly follow the instructions. The only thing I added was the 1925 New York license plate. The body is Testors Gloss Black, and the canopy is Tamiya Semi-Gloss Black. In the end, it was you typical AMT kit (flash in odd places; thick, out of scale parts; ejector pin marks in places that you can't get to; bullet-proof glass). Would I build another one? Probably. It was an interesting build. Again, I want to thank Mike Laliberte (Lunnajammer) & Harry Pristovnik (Harry P.) for inspiring me to do the wood spokes; and to do this build in general. Here is the build thread (for what it's worth): http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/100967-1925-ford-model-t-pickup/ Edited June 3, 2016 by Jim B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Thanks, Gator. There were some head scratching moments with that C-cab, so finally I said, "The heck with that!" and built it like this inspiration photo: Not totally sure about that spare tire mount, though. Looks like a leather strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
