No. I have a couple of the ICM 1/24 scale Model T kits. They are all new tooling, with much more detail. I really like their 1912 Model T Commercial Roadster. It had a lockable storage compartment under that "mother-in-law seat" on the back. The ICM kit includes the hinges and lock detail on the compartment.

tim boyd Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 The "Classic Kits" column on the Tonka Model T Four Alarm was in the March/April 2018 issue of Scale Auto....TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Thanks, Tim. (Opens big Can of Worms).....Since you know many of the players in the Industry, any Idea who tooled the Tonka kits? Any chance the are tools still around? Could Atlantis, or Moebius, or Somebody "rescue" them? Would it even be worth the trouble to do so? Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Alan Now that is a really good set of questions, and I don't have the foggiest idea of the answer to any of them. As we know, most kit tools have survived over the many years, but this one? Who knows? TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faust Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Alan told me about this line the other day, and I have to say I'm impressed with the choice of subjects that Tonka tackled. I think reissues of these could do well today! I love the looks of these, and will be keeping my eyes peeled for them at shows and the like. I'm unlikely to find one but hey, you never know! Thanks for bringing these out of the shadows! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
