Fun, straightforward build – delicate pieces, delicate model

This is a Round 2 reissue, and they did a great job with this one. This could be built as a cop car version with helmets, shotgun, sirens, etc or a civilian touring version of a 1927 Model T, the last year of the Model T. The model has the original 177 ci four banger or the Fronty racing special – that was actually designed by the Chevrolet Brothers. All kind of police goodies as mentioned, including the decal for badging a proper police car. Top and hood can be removed to reveal engine and interior. The interior is Spartan, which is exactly like the real vehicle. There are optional side curtains. While the fenders and frame are one piece, as well as a one-piece body, all other parts are pretty delicate and would break under stress or too much pressure. I did have to remove and scratch-build the front bumper mount arms because one was not fully molded. Further, had to scratch the headlight mounts because the original part was broken. Plus, I had to tease and carve a lot of parts to ensure a good fit – like cutting down the drive shaft and cutting the windscreen into two pieces. I would suggest that you glue to the dashboard to the body and not the interior tub. Requires a delicate touch and lots of test fitting and patience, but the modeler will be rewarded with an absolutely gorgeous model! Recommended.
