Thanks, Steve.

I agree. Much better with the white mirrors.

Wow! It's finally done! Here is the finished thread: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/114181-1925-ford-model-t-pickup/

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/

Nice looking Corsair. You could always use this next time (assuming there is a next time): http://www.propblur.com/

Very nice looking motorcycle. Doesn't look very comfortable, though.

Exce4llent job, Túlio. Very well done.

Great site! Thanks.

I was thinking of New York. From the pic that Pat posted, I'm guessing that they were maybe 4" x 12"? Not really sure.

Would anyone know the approximate size of a US automobile license plate in 1925? I know that US license plates were not standardized to the current 6" x 12" until 1956. Thanks for the help.

Very nicely done. It did come out great. Too bad you don't have a sandbox handy to pose it in.

Yes, it was reissued several months ago. I picked one up, too. Not scratch & dent, unfortunately.

Nice looking B25. What does it say across the wings?

Very nice looking Chevrolet. That black sure is shiny! I like your courtyard, too.

Very nice job on the L700. You even got it to site relatively level. Most of the time it has a distinct "shovel nose" attitude.

Details! Details!

Thanks for the info, Aaron. That's good to know. You should know that the Fruit Wagon kit (lower right) has the stock pickup & runabout parts. That Vintage Police Car kit would be nice to find. Maybe they will reissue it one of these days.

Iron Annie is just about ready for flight! Looks like all you need are the props.

Oh, it's not done yet, but it's very close. Everything that you see there, except the frame & engine, is just placed there. If I sneeze it'll all fall apart. Knowing how this one has been going, probably another year until it's done! As for the next project, It's going to be the Revell 1957 Ford Custom as a Fire Chief's car. Well, that's the plan, anyway.

Some nice looking Model T's, guys. Thanks for the inspiration. A.J., that Chief's Buggy is pretty much what I saw. How did you do the extinguishers? Where did you get the Model T pickup kits? The only one I've found is in the "Fruit Wagon" kit, and I'd rather not keep purchasing those as I don't need all the hot-rod stuff. I did pick up one of the AMT 1293 Model T Van kits, though.

Neat little airplane.

Nice looking Model T, Aaron. It looks nice in the USFS livery. I saw photos of a Fire Chief's Model T the other day. Really cool looking with the white tires. Not sure how I would make the brass water can on the running board, though.

Finally getting back to this one. Wow! Has it really been almost a year? Decided to go a slightly different direction with the build as the C-Cab wasn't really fitting together all that well, and I got tired of fighting with it. Still going with black. Hoping to finish it up this weekend if I can. Needs another coat on the top. Oh, and I need to paint the headlights.

This is a great thread. I have just about everything to make 3950, but I do have one question: I have both the AMT Kenworth W900 kits (one with the spring suspension & one with the torsion bar). Does anyone know what type of suspension 3950 might have had? I would have to guess that for a fleet truck it would have the lightest, cheapest suspension that they could get. The spring suspension in the AMT Kenworth W900 kit s a 38000#, I believe.
