Very nicely done example of "Ya don't see that everyday" and a welcome sight too.

It;s a cool model.
Now if Tamiya would do a 1/35th scale version like they did with the Citroen 11CV kit with more detail and posable doors.
Very cool! Really nice job on the mud too, looks just right, not too little or overdone.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
Quick search shows this to be a 1942 Ford

Excellent job, aj. I love this one.
OK, I hate to admit it, but the cars from that era always look the same to me (much like the way all the new cars of today do). What make and model does this depict?
Nice work on the staff car.
Here is Tamiya’s 1/48 US Staff Car, 1942. This will be part of a diorama I’ve been commissioned to do. The kit is a basic curbside kit with no engine compartment, though it has a separate hood. The interior consists of front seat, rear seat, steering column with directional stalk and shifter, steering wheel and dash. There are no instrument details of decals but these would be nearly impossible to see in the enclosed vehicle. The glazing consist of windshield, rear window and back window and two front windows. Tamiya molded ice locator receptacles for the windows in the roof reducing the likelihood of glue on the clear parts. Chassis is die cast metal with two simple axels and front and rear suspension parts. Hub caps are molded separately from the tires eliminating the need to mask these. The bumpers are separate pieces as is the trunk latch/rear license plate. The builder is advised to remove the civilian style plates for a military vehicle. There are decals for the civilian plates and markings for one OD military car. The decals for the fender guards at the back of the rear doors could not comply with the compound curves and had to be carefully painted. Otherwise, the decals set down very nicely.
