Hey. My intention is to produce a range of 1:25 scale 1920s and 1930s trucks. The first will be as follows: 1925 Model TT, 1926 Model TT, 1930/31 AA, 1932/33/34 BB, and 1935/36. Once these are complete I will move onto producing the Dodge, GM versions. I also want to produce Diamond T's from 1935 to 1945 and 1939 Federal. The kits will include all the components minus the engines so they can be built as curb side kits or engines can be added from other sources. There will be a number of trans kits available to fit existing kits these will include: The 1930/31 AA trans kit will include: chassis, rear suspension/differential, five hole five lug wheels/brakes and rear/upper cab section and bench seat to suit the Revell 1930 Model A Sedan Delivery and Tudor kits. The 1932/33/34 BB trans kit will include: chassis, rear suspension/differential and five hole, five lug wheels/brakes to suit the Lindberg 1934 Pickups. The 1935/36 Trans kit will include: chassis, rear suspension/differential, five hole, five lug wheels & brakes, fenders, cab and grill to suit the Revell Monagram 1937 Ford pickup. This kit will also be available minus the cab and grill to build up as a truck version of the 37 pickup. I have already invested several thousand dollars in hardware and software to aid in the development of the prototypes and at this stage I have completed the cabs for the 26 T Ford, 1930 AA, and 1932 Fords as well as the bare chassis for the 1932/33/34 BB Fords. With over 20 years master modelling experience and 11 years experience in resin casting and mould making, I am more than up to the task. As well as creating all the prototypes I will also be creating the moulds and casting them up. I will also be building each one up as a test kit before the official release to insure the components all fit. I have been in discussion with a well known Truck producer about releasing my designs through their site and they have agreed to receive some of my samples. What I need to know is if there would be a market for such such models and if so what kind of configurations builders would like to see, such as tippers, tow trucks, tankers, flat beds and so on. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated and once I have completed the first prototypes, I will post them up. If there are any other makes not mentioned that you would like to see let me know because I am open to any possibilities if I think there will be a market.
