ICM Daring Robbery Ford Model A and Gangsters 1/24 Kit

Build a dramatic American gangster-era scene with this detailed 1/24 scale kit from ICM. The set combines a Ford Model A getaway car with three figures, period weapons, cash bags and simulated bullet-hole decals, providing the key elements for a dynamic late-1920s or 1930s diorama.

Comprising 254 parts in total, the kit includes two male gangster figures and one female figure alongside the car. The completed Ford Model A measures 160 mm long and 75 mm high, giving the finished scene a strong presence while retaining the detail offered by the 1/24 scale.

An Iconic American Crime-Era Scene

During the late 1920s and 1930s, American organised crime developed from small street gangs into powerful, structured syndicates. Daring bank robberies brought their leaders national notoriety, with high-speed automobiles and modern paved roads enabling criminals to strike quickly and make rapid escapes.

The Ford Model A provides a recognisable centrepiece for this setting. Combined with the three figures and included accessories, it creates a complete narrative centred on a period getaway scene rather than a standalone vehicle display.

Period Weapons and Accessories

The set includes Thompson submachine guns and M1911 pistols, reflecting the arsenal associated with high-profile criminal gangs of the period. The Thompson cost approximately $200 at the time, nearly half the price of a contemporary Ford Model A, demonstrating the considerable sums invested in weaponry.

Cash bags add another storytelling element and can be arranged with the figures and vehicle to suggest the immediate aftermath of a robbery. By the late 1930s, economic stabilisation and modernised law-enforcement tactics had brought this era of high-profile gangsterism to an end.
