Redisetta Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 This is a kit from ICM model company. It was kinda challenging for me because the body comes in four pieces and I had a lot of “fun” trying to get it square. I used Tamiya gloss black. I really wish the brass parts had come plated. Like I said on another post with a 66 Suburban I’m building for pure enjoyment for myself and having lots of fun with it. Since I restarted building again about seven years ago after I retired I have built too many models to even count lol. I think I’m getting a little better as I go along thanks to listening and learning from you guys on this site. Ray
NOBLNG Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 Very Nice! Your brass looks pretty good, it just hasn't been polished lately.
bbowser Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 That looks great! I have this one in the pile, hope it comes out half as nice. These are not easy kits to get together. How did you do your brass?
Redisetta Posted May 12, 2018 Author Posted May 12, 2018 Thanks for the positive comments. As for the brass I just brushed on Model Master paint and clear coated with Tamiya spray
Mike999 Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 You met the challenge! Looks great and I hope mine comes out looking that good. Thanks to ICM for doing some new 1/24 scale classic-era kits, which no one else seems willing to try. Now if they would just enlarge their Packard Twelve up to 1/24 scale... ICM also does several Model T's in 1/35 scale: a 1917 Ambulance, only available before now as an expensive resin kit. Also 1/35 models of the Australian WWI armed patrol version, and a Model T military supply truck. Years ago RPM did 1/35 plastic kits of a Motor Machine Gun Section Model T and a different supply truck. But those are very crude short-run kits and not really worth building with the ICM kits available.
