'25 model T Coupe

A little over a week ago I had minor knee surgery. Stuck in bed watching movies with my leg elevated, I decided to have a look at this kit. Three days later, it's finished! This is the quickest straight out of the box build I've done, nothing flash just a simple little hot rod.
Colours are Tamiya Olive Drab and Dull Red.














Thanks for looking!

Not a bad 3 three days work there big fella!..........Wish my missus would let me paint in bed!

Geez mate, I'd still be trying to decide on wheels and paint after three days, considering you only just got the bloody thing as well that's pretty good going. Nice job too mate.

Fella's!
She's a good missus but no way would she let me paint in bed, all the plastic shavings in bed was bad enough! She helped me outside for all the spray painting and made sure everything was in arms reach, I can see I'll owe her big time when I'm on my feet again.
I did only get the kit on Tuesday and had it finished Friday night but I already had a plan of attack before it arrivred. Plus no added detail or shiney finish made it a quick build.
This was the most organised build I've done.
Day 1



Day 2



& day 3 finished.

This is a cool kit with heaps of options, definitely worth a look.
Although it was advertised that it came in a tin, but all I got was just a plain old ordinary cardboard box.

I like this. Despite the lack of loud paint

AMT Double T isn't it?
Did the blower come with it?

If you paid for the "collectors" release in the tin and got one in a box then you should enquire about that...

Hows your knee now? Coming along?

Well thats a pretty quick build right there then isnt it? lol. Looks good mate, not to sure if I like the kit or not but you did a great job on it

Great job Joe - hope the knee is better.

thats one cool old school rod, I restored one and put big rear rubber under it.

Awesome T Joe!! I love it, best 3 day'er ive seen yet And get well soon man!

Thats real purdy. Super job, hope the knee heals up dude.

Looks great Joe, If you come to Mackay, I reckon you'll kick some but even with a bung leg....lol
Seriously I hope it gets better soon. cheers

I'm pretty certain this only came in a box Zen, only the Fiat kit came in a tin - 99.9% sure of it as the '25 is about $45 and the Fiat $80

well its diffrent but sweat plane but wild well done joe and yes you most defenetly will owe ya misses big time but it looks like itll be worth it great build mate even for a quickie

No idea if it's supposed to come in a tin or not, just it was advertised that it came in a "Commemorative" tin for $21.50.
I just had a look on the Model Express site and this kit is no longer available so I can't quote the ad. Must of got the last one.

Still a cool kit, the Latham blower and side draft carbs come in the kit, so do the rear slicks with the lettering already on them. The list goes on....

Cheers!

Hmmm. I could of sworn the initial re-release of the double T came in a tin. I have been wrong once before though.
$21:50 is pretty good though.

I think it was going to be but Round2 changed it.
A great build looks great.

As Monaro stated, they were going to do it in a tin, but only released the box version................so yeah Zen this is the SECOND ( ) time you've been wrong!!

dont care ifen it came in a tin or not, good price for a cool kit, great build Joe,
Do ya reckon ya could extend the recuperation of the knee for another few days in bed building models ..................

Great build Joe and I hope yer feelin' better and back on your feet sooner rather than later.

How cool are those printed pie crust tars?

anyone know what make the engine is? and I dont mean plastic or amt either !

Engine is a Lincoln, blower is a Latham.

Cheers Tony.

Thanks carps
