1/24 Ford A Gangster Car
ICM 1/24 Ford A Gangster Car is a plastic kit of an American passenger car from the Great Depression era. According to the manufacturer it has 203+16 parts, including Thompson submachine guns. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Ford Model A replaced the famous Model T at the end of the 1920s. The October 1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression that followed fuelled a wave of crime in the United States, with bank robberies becoming particularly notorious. Gangsters relied on automobiles and on Thompson submachine guns nicknamed the “Tommy gun”. According to the manufacturer, such a gun cost around 200 dollars – roughly half the price of a Ford A.
According to the manufacturer, the ICM kit in 1/24 scale consists of 203+16 parts, and the finished model measures 160 × 75 mm (length × height). Two accessory sprues add Thompson submachine guns, pistols and travel bags, inviting a scene in front of a bank or a small diorama. The decals include 1934 Texas and Illinois licence plates, the Ford logo and bullet holes for the glazing and bodywork.
The large 1/24 scale leaves plenty of room for careful work on the interior, the bright metal fittings and the wire wheels. The dark body with boldly coloured wheels stands out in a display cabinet as well as in a gangster-era diorama. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
