I recently acquired a 1:32 lead Model-T circa 1913. My first choice is as a British Staff Car as I have some TAW staff figures, but am unsure how to finish it. Would appreciate your comments on the following questions:
- Presently it's left-hand drive, but converting it to right-hand drive shouldn't be too difficult. Does anyone know if the Brits had any right-hand drive Ts?
- As to the color: Should an early-war T be dark green, khaki or what? I would think brown leather seats, black floor mats, and no brass would be appropriate. Am thinking of doing the headlights silver with a yellow tint.
- As to WD numbers: I've seen pictures of Ts in the Near East with WD numbers of LC^####, but I think I've also seen them in Britain or the Western Front as M^####. Comments?
Certainly did have right hand drive, they were built in the UK in Manchester with right hand drive, however they were also importing them from America so I would have thought left hand drive would be fine. Will see if I can dig out some photos
Can only find these late war photos of Fords. Personally i'd keep the brass as i'd be surprised if the need for camouflage was enough to repaint the radiator, and paint it dark green or olive green. I'd go for something similar to the preserved one just past half way down here;
