A small 'between jobs' project, a 1930 Ford Model A Stakebed!
I had two '30 Ford Model A Tourings (made by Monogram, scale 1/24), both were build and they had to come apart for painting and
re-assembly. Looking at all the parts I decided that with no '30 Model A pickup/stakebed model in my collection, I should have a go at
that.
The rear of the touring was cut off and the section with the rear doors was removed. Surprisingly enough the remaining
rear part fitted without any problem to the front section. Just a few little tweaks and it was ready.
The floor of the stakebed was borrowed from an AMT Beverly Hillbillies Buick kit. The rest of the stakebed was scratchbuilt from wood and thin strips of easy to cut red copper strips.
And yes, they all are removable.
A littlle weathering was applied and that's it.
Nothing special, but fun to build.
