Welcome to the forum Hearl. That looks like an interesting kit. I look forward to following your progress with it. Good luck!

Welcome to the forum, Heart! That is indeed vintage Revell! Among their earliest kits. I think those originated in the UK, didn’t they? I look forward to seeing them when you have them built!

Best regards,
Brad

Welcome Hearl! Those vintage kits can be a lot of fun.

Thanks Brad, yes I think they originated in the UK about 1950, I am a sucker for the old model kits. I have built several of revell kits, covered wagon, ranch wagon, stagecoach and so on, love the hobby.

Welcome in, Hearl - will be interesting to see early vehicles that have color, other than black.

Welcome! Very curious subject. Looking forward to seeing this come together.

Thanks, I will get started soon.

Yeah, i`m not much for black, although I think most of the Ford Ts and As were black, but then again, I have not seen many original ones, thanks.

I am a sucker for the old models like revell covered wagon, ranch wagon, stagecoach, and such, thanks..

Thanks, yes they are fun, I have built several old revell kits, stagecoach, chuck wagon, and many others. Love them…

Welcome to the forums, Hearl. Are there driver figures included in this kit as well?

I like to build the older kits, too, kits I built as a kid, Monogram 1/48 aircraft, Revell 1/72 and 1/32 aircraft, among others.
When I joined Hyperscale years ago, I made my forum handle “Mr. Nostalgia”.
I build new kits, too, but I turn back to those kits, too.

Great handle “Mr Nostaigia”, when I was a kid on the farm, there was a neighbor farm kid and I would build models in the winter, I built revells covered wagon and stagecoach series, I think there are about 10-12 of them. The other kid built aieplanes, they were the old balsa wood and paper kits, good times and good memories. Thanks for the note

Yes they are included, not scale, kind of whimsical, but clever. Not for everyone I guess, but the old kits appeal to me, I like something different.
