jpage Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Here are some shots of a model I'm building of a 1930/31 Ford Model AA truck. A Minicraft 1/16 Model A truck kit is the donor for the cab, engine, front axle and a few small parts. Everything else, frame, wheels, tranny and rear axle are all scratch built. Tire are from Thomas toys, made for some old cast toy truck which happened to be the perfect size. This has been on the back burner for a while, really should get out and finish it. The chassis is all the farther I've gotten. All the wheel bolts are tiny brass bolts and nuts.I'm almost inclined not to finish as most of the frame will not be seen. The engine will be wired and all the brake rods installed. The drag link moves with the front wheels. Edited January 21, 2019 by jpage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
41CHEVY Posted January 21, 2019 I'd be lost because the chassis is almost to detailed to cover, but an AA is never seen build in anything but 1/35 or 1/72 scale, so it does deserve a body. Could always make it a cut away factory display. Paul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpage Posted January 22, 2019 I've been debating on what kind of bed to use, stake bed, dump, grain or maybe a HD express, Although I don't think any Model AA express trucks were built with dual wheels. I was looking today at the cab; it's amazing how much detail is left out on some of these kits, even in 1/16 scale. Lots of work to get the cab looking correct!

Casey Posted January 26, 2019 Beautiful work. I would suggest going with the stake bed but judging by your progress thus far, I'm sure which ever route you take will turn out fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
