'27 Ford Lightweight Tower

[Mike Whatshisname]

I sorta got tired working on my latest diorama and needed a break. So, I started a little "break-away" project as I just grabbed any kit off the shelf and did something with it. I closed my eyes and grabbed a AMT 27 Ford pickemup off the shelf. Just what the Dr. ordered.

Here's the finished product:

I had no plans to build this (blueprints) other than I remember a buddy of mine in Cincinnati built something similar many years ago and I had always wanted to do MY version! Enjoy.

That's a wonderfully done model, but it is NOT a '27! A '27 would have been a Model T, and this is a Model A - making it a '28 through '31, the only years the Model A was built. It looks like a '28 or '29 to me. What kit did you start from?

Your absolutely correct Dave. DOH! I actually used the tall body from the '29 rat rod kit from Revell.
