Ford Model T by Gunze Sangyo completed. (pics)
Limited in physical activity for the last several weeks, I have had fun with a model kit by Gunze Sangyo Inc. of Japan, white metal from 1977, 1:43 in scale.
Here's where it started:

Did you assemble the hood so it can be removed and show off the engine?

I found a couple more T's (pic), Harvey, but I don't recognize the red one. Good looking gathering!

The red one is by Ixo David, #CLC001 from 2001. There was also a green top up version.
Ixo also made a later "T" from the 1920's, but I never got that one. I didn't think the wheels looked right.

Thank you, Harvey.
