1911 International Auto Car

[Joe Lange]

Built this kit while in the middle of a more tedious model I was working on.  I found it's sometimes helpful to 'unfocus' from a big project for a while.  This is when I grab a 1/43 white metal kit or a 1/32 kit. 

Hope you like the pictures!

Really Neat Build.

And, Handsomely Finished.

What Kit/Scale?

[Mittagskind]

Very nice built. I didn´t find the manufacturer and type on the internet, only a company named International Motor Car in England.

Thanks Alan,  It is a 'Highway Pioneers' 1/32 scale kit.  It's an older kit but they do pop up on Ebay occasionally.  Not too pricey.  Check out my reply to 'Mittagskind' and 'cobraman'.

Thanks Hanjo,  The model was made originally by 'Highway Pioneers', (Revell), here in the U.S.  It's an older 1/32 scale kit.  It is a model of a 1910/11 International Harvester Auto Wagon.  International Harvester is an Illinois, (U.S.A.), based company.

You can still find them on Ebay.  Not to expensive.

Thanks Ray,  wasn't too sure what you meant by 'Donk' until I looked it up!  (No, I don't think so).   However, in some 'pick-up truck circles', it is considered the Grand Dad of the pick-up truck.  IH started building it as the 'Auto Buggy' in 1907.  It could be had with 2 or 3 rows of seats or just a front seat with a flat bed section in the rear.  In 1912 IH decided to build just the truck version and renamed it the 'Auto Wagon' and continued it until 1917.  I'm not really a truck/pick-up truck enthusiast, but I think of it as a very important part of automotive history.
