bbowser Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I also put this in "What did you get today?" New mold, no flash, looks pretty good. No plated parts however, will need either brass paint or your favorite chrome solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Some lighter coloured tires would have been nice, but that's not a deal breaker. BMF does have a gold foil that should work for the flat parts, but the gold colour does rub off when you handle it too much, like when you're trying to work it around complex shapes. The gold foil from candy wrappers seems to be more durable. Molotow makes a gold marker, but I don't know how shiny it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordf-100 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Thats a pretty nice looking kit! Wonder how long it will be before someone makes it a show rod/ street rod! Kinda reminds me of what Revell used for the Der Guber wagon? and a couple others! If you dont mind me asking what are those going for?

First......Thanks Bruce for posting this....I wanted one but good to see inside. Tires can be painted with Tamiya spray flats. I use white primer to make wide whites. I'd test it...but gray primer might work well. PS.....anyone think about a hot rod version like Revell Meter Cheater???

stavanzer Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I'm thinking Moon Mixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Porter Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Better question than who's going to customize this first... When are we going to get a T-bucket kit with as nice a front axle, spindles and all, as this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Ah, I wondered where that came from. Now I know. Thanks, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Something else.......the Revell Renault showrods are really 1/32 scale....body wise. If you have a Pyro 1/32 Renault kit the 'hood' in it is almost the EXACT same size as the Revell. So I'm not sure how big the ICM 1/24 kit will be.

Deathgoblin Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Looks like a nice kit! I think the Revell show rod that would be close to this one would be the "Meter Cheater". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGTRUCK Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Those ICM kits are really nice, I got the 1914 model T fire truck 1:24 , I’ve had it awhile , don’t remember if it had plated parts or not or white tires. Now I have to look.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it in one! But if your taste runs to Fad Ts, and late 60s customs, the ICM kits would seem to be a good source of kitbashing material.

Unlike the Renault Taxi, those kits don't have a separate chassis. I (mostly) built the ICM Model T Speedster. The frame rails are part of the fender assembly.

Dave Van Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Well.......I just ordered a Taxi kit. $45 delivered. How I will build it yet to be seen!!!! This is a Revell Renault based stake bed....Hmmmm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Kourouklis Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) Yup. Don't have a full-on closeup at the spindles, but I seem to recall the T's front axle being right about the measure of the Renault piece above, complete with molded see-through spaces around each spindle. Taxi looks hella kool! Did NOT know it was available in 1/24, think I'ma get after one...
