Ack! Ack-ack! Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 When an uncle of mine gave up car modeling he gave all his car and truck kits and even his built models to me. Some of them were really old and long out of production. This one was a Gakken kit from the seventies (does anyone remember Gakken?). I found the quality amazing but when I built the kit 10 or 15 years ago the entire decal sheet had become brown and a tire had left a black circle on it. At that time still without the equipment for printing own decals I made the lettering with Letraset letters (does anyone remember Letraset?). I am not sure but I think some years ago this Gakken kit was available under a different label (Minicraft?). If there should be a reissue I would really recommend it.
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Very nice work. X2. Fine looking model. And yes, I remember Letraset very well. Still have some, and use it occasionally. Is this 1/16, like, I believe, the Minicraft kits?
Renegade Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Beautiful build. Lettering looks spot on. Great colors.
GMCMAN52 Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Real nice Model A and the color fits the time this A was used
Foxer Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 That DOES look very nice!I'm curious about scale also.

DumpyDan Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Well done, looks fine. I think this and others were reissued
bismarck Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Excellent build and I love the color scheme. X2. Those colors match that era of vehicle perfectly. You nailed it!!
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Nice and clean. Nice to see it done as a factory stock.
Perspect Scale Modelworks Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 You nailed the 30's feel. Excellent work. And yeah, what scale is it?
CometMan Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Very well done Thomas! And, yes, guys, that kit is 1/16. I have the same one from when Entex issued it, it also has been issued under the Academy/Minicraft name.
