Ford Model T on Armorama
Permalink   

Saw Sean Hadfield's work on Armorama and thought people here would like to see it too, just in case you missed it. I must say I think it looks splendid (my only niggle is the colour of the tyres). I can't imagine trying to replicate this in 1/72!

There are many more photos here: http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=features&file=view&artid=4654

It looks to me as if some of his reference material comes from the Library of Congress:

It would be a neat group build project and there's the little RPM kit as a starting point... go on you know you want to wink

To replicate it in 1/72 is possible I think. Not easy but doable.

BTW: I am working in small scale for these days (smalest AFV in my collection):

It is Polish Ftc up-armored version from Polish-Soviet war in 1920.

RPM parts were too thick so i decided to make the hull mostly from scratch smile PE elements from Part are excellent.

 

Cheers.

Thank you in advance,
Eric

Nice work TankRed the Part PE really sharpens up the RPM kit and your plasticard hull with interior look great.

Thanks for comments!

ERIC: Regarding names of TFc Fords, there is no clear evidence. Only few bad pictures survived. We know which names of insects were used but we don't know exactly the link between the number ant the name. At least there is no reference on that. I will try to ask some polish historicians to discuss that. I will let you know.
Regards

Well - Ford FTB from RPM have some mistakes.Side armour is build from four trench armour plates...not three.

 

See my workbench here:

I use two Part PE sets...

I must repaint this model...
