Ford models reference pics.
Carl Laskey shared this great proto pic of a Ford model TT recently.
What a beautiful example and a great picture. Thanks so much Carl !!
Hopefully there will be a few more examples shared here now that Brett has released his first Ford.
Both for modeling inspiration and also...
Maybe some ideas for future kits....

Here's a little history for those of you getting these soon and thinking of paint colours....
""" Initially, the Model T came only in red, gray, or green. In 1910, you could only get dark green, and in 1911, all cars were blue. Late in 1912, black was added as an available color.
The black-only policy began in 1914, and primarily because it was also the year Ford fired up his new moving assembly line. The new line reduced the time to build each car from more than 12 hours, to just 90 minutes. Black paint was the cheapest, and using a single shade meant the line didn’t have to stop while workers cleaned the equipment to change the paint colors. Black remained the sole choice until 1926, when some models were offered in green, maroon, or gray, all with black fenders. """

That is a wonderful example of a home made cab and body.
Fantastic inspiration.
