COMMON KIT CLASS:
The Common Kit for GSL-XXVIII is the Revell 1929 Ford Model A Roadster (kit #RMX854463). The intent of this Class is for each entrant to start with the same kit, then display their widest array of individual creativity, craftsmanship, building skills, and technical innovations. The entrant may build the entry in any style or vintage. Regardless, all entered models must be based upon the parts from this kit. Entrants may also: i) swap parts from any other kit(s); ii) use any aftermarket parts (except for complete aftermarket resin bodies); and iii) use any building materials, techniques or technologies without restriction.

Got to thinking about the Common Kit for GSL-XXVIII being the Revell 1929 Ford Model A Roadster... here's Jeff Allison's take on the subject:

COMMON KIT


The Common Kit for GSL-XXVIII is the Revell 1929 Ford Model A Roadster (kit #RMX854463). The intent of this Class is for each entrant to start with the same kit, then display their widest array of individual creativity, craftsmanship, building skills, and technical innovations. The entrant may build the entry in any style or vintage. Regardless, all entered models must be based upon the parts from this kit.  Entrants may also: i) swap parts from any other kit(s); ii) use any aftermarket parts; iii) use any body from another 1929 Ford kit but may not use a complete aftermarket resin body; and iv) use any building materials, techniques or technologies without restriction.

Doesn't really make a difference in the direction of the '29 TNR but will call for some changes on the tow vehicle! -KK

Waiting patiently to see more progress on this great project. The truck and trailer look great also.

Brother, the last time the '29 TNR was seen in public was at an IPMS event...

One of only two models that appeared in an unfinished state.  -KK

Seats look really good - how do you apply the AK metal - is it brush painted or rubbed on ?
