Howdy folks,

This post starts the Model T build thread. The last Model T I built was a fire truck; this one is a passenger truck. The basic kit is from Inter Action Hobbies with modifications to look similar to the photo below.  The prototype carried passengers from the Newnan, Georgia, train depot to a hotel in the city.



Here is what the kit looks like before assembly.



Away we go...

Would you mind saying the price of it?

Howdy folks,

All the parts for the Model T are in the paint shop and drying.  Here are a few of the finished components:



Shown are the sides and floor.  I used Valejo wood color, and it is a close match to the prototype. The kit is a lot of fun to build, and the instructions are perfect.

Have fun,
mike
