Distinctive 1918 Model T Runabout

The Model T Runabout was designed to provide practical and affordable personal transport. Its high ground clearance and flexible suspension gave it useful capability on the rough roads of early 20th-century America, allowing it to negotiate ruts, mud and stones. The original vehicle could reach speeds of around 65-70 km/h.

The model features highly detailed components representing the engine, suspension and characteristic open body of the Runabout. The sprues are produced from quality plastic, with accurate proportions intended to capture the distinctive shape of the 1918 vehicle.

A decal sheet is included with 1918 licence plates from various U.S. states, providing a selection of period markings for the finished model. Detailed assembly instructions are also supplied to guide construction of the 96-part kit.
