BIG scale Minicraft 1/16th

you missed at least one. Monogram released the cabriolet from the original 60's 1930 coupe/cabriolet kit as a stand-alone kit. that is why the 30 coupe kit has no fender well pockets for the side mount spare tires anymore. they tooled up a new set of fenders when they split the kit in two.

[Greg Myers]

I know I missed more than one. That's where you guys come in to fill in the blanks.

That's a lot. I have not seen those Minicraft kits. Nice box art...

Great history, Greg! (don't forget the Hubley 1/20th scale cast metal 1930 Model A kits!)

I was wondering about Hubleys also. Didn't they offer a Model A Fordor Sedan as one of their metal A kits?

Given the number of body styles there are not nearly enough Model A kits out there….. Need a repp of 28/29 sedan, need 28/29 coupe, need a 30/31 Closed cab pick-up. I need a 31 slant windshield Town Sedan to build a model of my Model A. I could go on…..

[Greg Myers]

Some one say Hubbly ? looks like they covered the subject better that anyone , albeit in

1/20th scale and lots of screws showin'

then there is this one .I stand corrected it is a Model 18 (Ford V8-8)

Edited July 7, 2014 by Jon Haigwood

[Danno]

then there is this one .one of the first if not thee first kit

That's a 1932Ford, Jon. It's a Model B (4 cylinder) or Model V8 (flathead V8), not a Model A.

From what I just read the Model B was the 4 cylinder version and the Model 18 (Ford V8-8) was the V8 version of the Model B

As far as I am concerned it is in the same grouping as the Model A . The Model 18 had a larger more powerful engine and longer wheelbase

[Greg Myers]

Model A, Model B, yeah they all look alike.

Two totally different cars, nothing interchanges ( yeah, I know, never say nothing ) Different body, different chassis, different, different, different.

I said the same "Grouping" not that they were the same.

If your going to correct someone at least be right

[Brett Barrow]

[Greg Myers]

Yep. Same group.

As in "a group of similar body styling"

While I am at it , I will add in my opinion the Model A other than the roof line look very similar

I also noted that many Model A hot rods use the model b style radiator housing

I did not say they were the same put feel free to post pictures and point out the differences

So essentially, this is your own personal grouping i.e. group-ing, groo-ping.

Yes "A group of similar styled Ford autos in the late 20's and early 30's"

I call it the "Early Ford Hot Rod Group"

This thread is about Model "A" Ford kits. A group that falls within these years 1928-1931, not to be confused with Fords that came after this.

The Model "B" ( four cylinder version of the model 18, by the way a term not used by Ford) built only one year 1932.

The model "C" ( another term not used by Ford) being of the year 1933.

Sorry no model "D"
