1913 Model T speedster T.R.O.G.

Finished up today.  Built this like I thought an entrant for The Race of Gentlemen would look.  Used the excellent ICM kit and left off everything that didn't make it go faster.  I painted the white tires but it really doesn't want to stick to the vinyl, I figure a race car would not have original tires.  Comments welcome and thanks for looking.

Many years ago I saw a group of men and ladies race these in a field while carrying pigs. Hilarious! Great build!

You certainly did strip that down to the bare essentials. Nice work.?

Great model T speedster!

Cool T. I dig the stripped down nature of this little racer. Nicely done.

I've been intrigued by these ICM Model T kits, especially the Speedster. They seem to be well done.

Nice Speedster.  Well done.

Awesome little speedster.
Is that an ICM kit? Check the box, I think the country of origin is the Ukraine. I'm not sure we will ever see these again.

Yes, ICM is in Ukraine.  I think they mostly deal with WWII aircraft and armor but recently came out with several Model T variations and a couple of 1/24 Admiral Opels.  I'm afraid you're right we won't see them again for quite some time.

Thanks to everyone for all the nice comments.  It was a nice little quick build.
