This sweet #1929 #ModelA #Roadster 1/25 Scale Model is due in late March 2020!
The Ford Model A (also colloquially called the A-Model Ford or the A, and A-bone among rodders and customizers)[3] was the Ford Motor Company's second market success after its predecessor, the Model T. First produced on October 20, 1927, but not introduced until December 2,[4] it replaced the venerable Model T, which had been produced for 18 years. This new Model A (a previous model had used the name in 1903-04) was designated a 1928 model and was available in four standard colors.By February 4, 1929, one million Model As had been sold, and by July 24, two million.[5] The range of body styles ran from the Tudor at US$500 (in grey, green, or black)[5] to the Town Car with a dual cowl at US$1200.[6] In March 1930, Model A sales hit three million, and there were nine body styles available.[5]Model A production ended in March 1932, after 4,858,644 had been made in all body styles.[7] Its successor was the Model B, which featured an updated inline four-cylinder engine, as well as the Model 18, which introduced Ford's new flathead (sidevalve) V8 engine.
The Model A was well represented in media of the era since it was one of the most common cars. Model kits remain available from hobby shops as stock cars or hot rods.Several Model As have obtained particular fame. The "Mean Green Machine", a green and black 1931 Tudor Sedan, has been a staple of University of North Texas football games and special events since 1974, maintained by the spirit organization Talons since the 1980s. The Ramblin' Wreck, a 1930 Sport Coupe, is the official mascot of the student body at the Georgia Institute of Technology and appears at sporting events and student body functions. Ala Kart, a customized 1929 roadster pickup built by George Barris, won two straight "America's Most Beautiful Roadster" awards at the Oakland Roadster Show before making numerous film and television appearances. Between October 1992 and December 1994, Hector Quevedo, along with his son Hugo, drove a 1928 Model A 22,000 mi (35,406 km) from his home in Punta Arenas, Chile to Ford headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. The car required minimal service, including a flat tire and transmission work in Nicaragua, and is now housed in the Henry Ford Museum.[21]Charlie Ryan's song "Hot Rod Lincoln" featured a modified Model A. The song has been covered several times since its original release.

Ya know with what's going on right now, this is
I've watched both of your build videos for this model, well done! You covered this model very well!
Just a simple tip, use the rear axle mounts that are on the frame to locate the axle and springs, but do not glue the axle to frame and then after the springs and trailing arms are set cut the mounts off. This will let the axle look like it could move up and down.
"He's a Mad Man!" Lol, I love the little back stories you give your models:D
I am building my first model in approximately 25 years thanks to you.....look forward to "rejoining" the hobby. So fun as I see kits from my childhood still around, this should be fun. Thanks man......
Thanks. I've watched your videos for years, and love how it comes across as "Just having fun". Exactly as we did as kids, enjoying the models and not stressing.
Another great build 👍
Keep up the good work.
Perfect timing! Mine just arrived yesterday! Thanks again for showing both builds.

Hello, thank you for the reply. I knew you would have the scoop on Revell. I don't always believe everything that I read. That is why I asked you. When you mentioned that Revell sent the kit I had a feeling that things might not be as bad as I saw on the internet. It was also older information too. This is a big help to others who heard of problems with Revell of USA. I hope that they keep releasing the great kits they offer. Revell is one of my all time loved makers. Thank you again.
Your kit came out real nice. Thanks for the info that you provided on this new issue of this kit.
I really hope Revell will include this one in their European lineup. It seems like a really nice kit.
I just picked up my 3 one of this kit. Going to do one of each version of the kit build option and going to do the 3rd one as a rat rod build.
another great tutorial and we can use it for other builds. Thanks. And excellent camera work - it helps us to understand the details in the narrative.
