Taking a brief respite from my F-35 model, I printed out this 1965 kit of a 1915 Model T Ford. I found this at Il favoloso mondo di carta di Totò: Ford modèle T 1915 (http://ilfavolosomondodicartaditoto.blogspot.com/2011/10/ford-modele-t-1915.html), where it is described:
cartamodello della ford modello t del 1915 apparso sul n° 75 (1965) di marabout-junior.
Translation indicates that this is a Ford Model T from 1915 appearing in the No. 75 issue of Marabout-Junior (which appears to be a French young adult comic magazine that apparently had these little extras thrown in from time to time).
I chose it because its a quick little kit, and I'm currently having a problem with my blue ink, and this kit is red and black only. :rolleyes: I decided to print it on manilla cardstock (feels a little thicker than standard 110lb index) which gives it an antique look to match the style of model.
The kit uses slot-and-tab construction but I chose to remove these in favor of edge-gluing. This required some superglue on some parts (the wheels and axles specifically), but all in all it came out quite nice for such a simple kit. This maybe took me 2 hours in total.
Here is the model sheet, printed to fit 8" across a page:

Now back to my "serious" model. :cool:
