This 1/24 scale model kit recreates the iconic Ford Model A as it appeared during the turbulent Prohibition and Great Depression era in the United States. As the economic crisis of the 1930s fuelled widespread lawlessness, the Ford Model A became synonymous with the rise of organised crime and the era’s infamous bank robbers. Its accessibility and speed made it the preferred vehicle for fast getaways, often combined with the firepower of the Thompson submachine gun—better known as the “Tommy gun”.

This detailed kit includes not only a classic 1930s Ford Model A but also miniature accessories such as M1911 pistols, Tommy guns, and money bags. Adding to the narrative appeal, decals simulating bullet holes on the body and windscreen are also provided. A historically evocative build for modellers, collectors, and enthusiasts of American crime lore.

History:

During the Great Depression, America experienced a surge in banditry, with criminals exploiting fast cars and firepower to evade law enforcement. The Ford Model A became a symbol of this era—an affordable, reliable vehicle that was used in countless bank robberies and getaways. Coupled with the notorious Tommy gun, these automobiles played a central role in shaping the image of the American gangster. This kit brings the gritty atmosphere of 1930s America to life in remarkable 1/24 scale detail.
