1937 Ford Delivery Truck

[Deleted]

The planets must be aligned properly, or something because I actually managed to finish a truck! Wow!

Anyway, here is my version of the Revell 1937 Ford delivery truck. I only built this guy to see how the kit was because my son who turned 8 in May wanted a glue kit. I wasn't sure what kit to get, because he's also been hounding me for an ambulance kit. Since I wasn't going to spring for a SSB Resin kit for an 8 year old, I was at a loss. The Revell issued this kit & I thought it would be perfect. I have to admit that there are some tricky parts, but I think we'll be able to handle them together.

My version is the Sexton Foods version with two-tone Tamiya Green over Dark Green. It's essentially "box-stock", but hey, it's done!

Looks good in that livery.

Hi Jim!

Very nice van! I've never seen this Revell- kit before.

Mart,

Years ago it was issued with Bloney bubble gum decals. White and red on the box. They also had the pickup out around the same time.

Thanks, Martin. It's a Revell-USA kit ( www.ebay.com/itm/Revell-1937-Ford-Sedan-Delivery-1-25-Scale-Model-Kit-NEW-/261243166650?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item3cd34e5fba#ht_152wt_917 ). It's been reissued several times with different decals. Revell even issues it as a pickup.

Here's a more "period correct" photo:

Thanks guys!

I have such a Ford A type pick-up truck as a die-cast model made by Burago. It's 1:24 and dark green with Coca Cola stickers and another one in red with OXO stickers on it as a van.
But this Revell kit never was available in Germany. Only the Tin Lizzy.

Your model give me an idea!

With the Internet, nothing is "never available". You just have to be willing to pay the shipping.

[mart]

Shipping won't be a problem! A mate of me is working at Mercedes in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and every 3 or 4 month he comes back to Germany. "Privat courier".
I will convert my die- cast model into a small wrecker.

Mercedes has a plant in Tuscaloosa? Never knew.

[mart]

Yes, Sir!
