1927 model T phaeton - AMT

[mr moto]

Here's the kit I used for this build:

The old AMT/Ertl version - 1970's or 80's I think. I believe the new Fire Chief release would still contain everything that I used for this build.

Other than kit parts, it uses AMT '32 Ford wheels, Modelhaus tires, Reps & Miniatures stromberg carbs, Roth Outlaw headlights and front nerf plus taillights and maybe one or two other things from the parts box. There are a few small scratch built items like the exhaust tip, club plaque and flying eyeball - the wings actually came in the kit. I dropped the stock front axle instead of using the dropped tube axle that was in the kit - wanted the vintage home made look of early hot rods.

Paint is MCW Luminous Cordovan (1962 Plymouth color) with flames shadowed in Duplicolor Bright Silver and then everything topped with Duplicolor Metalcast Red. Oh yeah, almost forgot, the wheels are done in MCW Gotham Gold (1959 Caddy). So here it is:

And the best part in the whole build is one that probably nobody will ever see - the back of the front seat:

Nice looking Model T.  I like the Lokar style shifter and the color looks great.

Good stuff! Very few tall top T's being shown these days. I built my first one from the original release of this kit over 50 years ago. Thanks for posting your photos.
