Art Anderson Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I bought this one from the estate of a deceased fellow model car enthusiast I'd known for a lot of years--1930 Model A Ford closed cab pickup, based on Revell's old 1930 Model A 2dr Sedan--with a pickup box from the Revell 1929 Model A pickup. This was produced under the All American Models brand of resin, in 1998--but it never did take off--only about 30 or so were sold. It' set up to use the Revell '30 Model A Tudor or Woody Station wagon kits. Now on my short list to build! Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CometMan Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Cool subject, looks to be cast well. Only problem I see, and it could just be the camera angle, but it looks like the roof is angled back to front, should be flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be thinking of the '32-'34 truck cab, which had a steel roof, that was much flatter. See the pic of a real one:https://i0.wp.com/www.curbsideclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/1930FordTruck08.jpgArt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68shortfleet Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Ya, I know, thread resurrection. Found it in Google looking at Model A trucks. Art, did this one ever make any progress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk11 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) Was that project of Arts perhaps inspired by this? .... Edited December 22, 2018 by mk11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68shortfleet Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Not for me, but maybe that was Art's inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
