Empress Miniatures: New WW1/Jazz Age Model T Ford Truck


Empress Miniatures: We have a long awaited WW1/Jazz Age release. Model T Fords in their Australian/British Reconnaissance guise used against Turkish forces and into the 1920s'. Perfect for Dunster Force scenarios in 1918. This version is the full body version and currently comes with two crew options although stay tuned as there are two more crew being moulded as we speak. The vehicle comes with some spare kit such as Lewis gun and gun mounts, rifle in holster and extra grip front tyres that can be added to the outside of the usual front wheels.

The model is all pewter and can be purchased as sets with the vehicle and crew, vehicle only and crew sets only. The crew sets are useful for other vehicles. There will be another version of the vehicle which will be the open, body section removed to help keep the engine cool. This will be released shorty. Mark Hargreaves painted one of the vehicles with crew option 2 just before lock down. You can find these vehicles in the Interwar Vehicle section of the Jazz Age room.
