atomicholiday Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 They look like Revell ‘26 Ford sedan delivery doors to me. Could be wrong though.
Mark Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 Revell '31 Ford sedan/sedan delivery. Surprisingly straight too I might add; early issue and more recent issue kits are nice and straight while the Seventies and Eighties issues can be pretty nasty. The Buttera T kits didn't have separate doors. 1

The Buttera T kits didn't have separate doors. I'm sure the sedan molded in brown with the small pic of buttera on the box top had seperate doors. I sold mine 6 months back or i could check. I know the one in the 3 kit set with the model a and 34 was molded shut

They did have separate inner door panels though. [IIRC you call them "door cards" across the pond. ?] Edited July 22, 2023 by Can-Con 1
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 No opening doors on the Buttera '26 T... -RRR 1
Mark Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 The Buttera sedan kit pictured is the first issue, with photos of the 1:1 car on the box. That first issue was a slow seller, hardly anyone bought it because it didn't show the actual model. Most people, me included, figured it would be a typical opening-everything Revell kit, thus unbuildable. Once Revell changed the box to show the model instead of the actual car, those kits started flying off of store shelves. 2
