Oldcarfan27 Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 Photos make this truck look perfect. I don't think those Lizzies looked that good when they were new!

I like the retro pictures, this sets one's mind to a different time when looking at this build. So many fine details that some might not remember that were part of this vehicle in its day. X2 !!
bisc63 Posted February 17, 2022 Posted February 17, 2022 Beautiful build! When I picked up one of these kits, a buddy that was tagging along said, " You've GOT to build the stock version!" After seeing this and just how nice it can look, I tend to agree. You nailed the look perfectly! Very well done.

After seeing this and just how nice it can look, I tend to agree Thank you sir. It doesn’t take much to bring out the detail in these T kits, AMT did a fine job with them. A word of advice, I think it’s best to mount the headlight buckets prior to paint. They’re a little finicky.

I am a multiple Model T owner in 1:1 scale and I have built the only complete set of all six of the Improved Fords in 1:25 scale. You, my friend NAILED IT! Thank you. That means a lot coming from an owner of the real deal. Did you post a thread of your various 1:25 late model T’s? I think I may have seen it before.

Smoke Wagon Posted February 18, 2022 Author Posted February 18, 2022 I’ll have to check it out. And nah, don’t say that. Every model is great as long as the builder had fun.
bbowser Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 Missed this the first time. Excellent work! Love to see these classics.
